J. Kim Murphy Rakim Mayers, better known by his stage name A$AP Rocky, faces two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm with allegations of personally using a firearm.

Los Angeles county District Attorney George Gascón announced that his office had filed charges against the rapper on Monday.“Discharging a gun in a public place is a serious offense that could have ended with tragic consequences not only for the person targeted but also for innocent bystanders visiting Hollywood,” Gascón said in a statement. “My office conducted a thorough review of the evidence in this case and determined that the addition of a special firearm allegation was warranted.”Mayers was detained at Los Angeles International Airport in April on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

He was released three hours later after posting a $550,000 bond. The Los Angeles Police Department reported a non-fatal shooting allegedly involving Mayers.

The incident took place on Nov. 6, 2021 in Hollywood. Mayers allegedly pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the victim, before subsequently drawing the weapon and firing twice in their direction.
