Canadian rapper Tory Lanez is facing a new felony charge in connection with his July 12, 2020 arrest in connection with an incident during which American rapper Megan Thee Stallion was allegedly shot in the foot.

Lanez is accused of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in her left heel after she left an SUV during a fight in the Hollywood Hills in California.

While the trial has officially started for Tory Lanez, where authorities are charging him for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, according to gossip media outlet The Shade Room, the rapper is now facing a new felony charge.

The media outlet reported that a source has revealed that Tory Lanez has now been charged with discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner.

The charge, which carries a maximum of six years in prison, was added yesterday (December 5). It is said that Tory Lanez has entered a plea of not guilty.

New developments in the case

According to The Shade Room, Tory Lanez has named billionaire Kylie Jenner and business executive Corey Gamble on his list of potential defense witnesses. If subpoenaed, Jenner and Gamble may have to testify.

He has chosen the two because they were allegedly present at Jenner’s pool party ahead of the shooting.

The findings

As previously reported, a physician found shrapnel in Megan Thee Stallion’s left heel. Shrapnel is shell casing fragments from a bullet, in most cases, defined as debris from a bomb or explosion.

The reports confirm that the physician treated Megan Thee Stallion with irrigation and debridement, which removes hardened tissue or debris – in this case, shrapnel from her foot.

A medical professional prescribed her medication and determined her to be okay for discharge on July 14.

Megan Thee Stallion’s discharge diagnosis was classified as gunshot injury. After treatment and procedure, the physician still determined that her wound was a result of a gunshot.

Charges for Tory Lanez

Tory Lanez has previously been officially charged with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, personal firearm use and a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. Authorities also accuse Tory of inflicting significant bodily injury with a gun.
