Rapper Tory Lanez guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion, US jury finds

US rapper Tory Lanez was found guilty on Saturday, Dec. 24 (Philippine time) of shooting Megan Thee Stallion after an argument in the Hollywood Hills in 2020.

A trial in Los Angeles heard how he had ordered her to "Dance, bitch" as he shot at her feet when she got out of a car they were both riding in.

Lanez, 30, who pleaded not guilty, was convicted of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, discharging a firearm with gross negligence, and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. 

Lanez—whose real name is Daystar Peterson—is scheduled to be sentenced on Jan. 27. 

He was remanded in custody immediately after Friday's hearing. (AFP)
