According to Consequence, the 33-year-old rapper is reportedly a person of interest in a shooting that took place in Los Angeles on November 6. The victim, who survived, told police that A$AP Rocky and two other men approached him while walking on the street around 10:20 p.m. local time, and fired off three or four shots, one of which grazed the victim’s hand.
