Tory Lanez's trial for allegedly shooting Megan Thee Stallion begins
Tory Lanez told fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion to "dance" before he fired five times at her during an argument in the Hollywood Hills nearly 2 1/2 years ago, a prosecutor told jurors.Rapper Tory Lanez told fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion to "dance" before he fired five times at her during an argument in the Hollywood Hills nearly 2 1/2 years ago, a prosecutor told jurors Monday, but the musician's attorney said jurors will have to determine who actually shot the gun.
Within about five minutes of the shooting, a female friend who was with Megan Thee Stallion texted one of the rapper's security guards, "Help," "Tory shot meg," and "911," the prosecutor said, and police subsequently found the gun still warm to the touch on the floorboard near where Lanez had been seated, according to the prosecutor.
Mgdesyan said it was a "case about jealousy," telling jurors that the two women had gotten into an argument while in the SUV and that a neighbor reported witnessing a fistfight between the women after the vehicle stopped on Nichols Canyon Road. At a hearing last year in which Lanez was ordered to stand trial, Los Angeles Police Department Detective Ryan Stogner testified that no one other than Megan Thee Stallion heard the alleged remark, "Dance, bitch."
