Los Angeles Police Department officers and U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained the 33-year-old
artist who arrived on a private plane from the Caribbean island
where he was vacationing with his girlfriend pop singer Rihanna,
the network reported.
Police in Los Angeles were investigating Rocky, whose real name
is Rakim Mayers, for his possible involvement in a Nov. 6
shooting in Hollywood. The victim told police that Mayers and
two people approached him with a handgun while he was walking on
the street, NBC news reported.
The victim said Mayers shot at him three to four times and a
bullet grazed his left hand, the network reported, citing a
police report.
A lawyer representing A$AP Rocky and a Los Angeles police
spokesperson were not immediately available for comment.
In January, Rihanna announced she was expecting her first child
with A$AP Rocky.
A$AP Rocky received a suspended sentence for his role in a brawl
in Stockholm in August, 2019. The rapper and two members of his
entourage were convicted of kicking and beating a 19-year-old
man after an argument. They had told the court they acted in
self defense.
