We recently reported on rapper Troy Ave being shot a second time and still miraculously escaping with his life again. Well more details have been made available and it definitely looks like someone really has it out for the Brooklyn rapper.
“Tonight, Troy Ave was targeted again… on Christmas,” his lawyer, Scott Leemon, said in a written statement Sunday night. “In Brooklyn, going to meet his family for the holiday, he was shot two times. Thankfully, he will survive the second attempt on his life.”
Added Leemon, “As we have said from the beginning – he is a victim. We pray for his speedy recovery.”
According to the NY Daily News, Troy, who’s real name is Roland Collins, was with his girlfriend at a red light on the corner of E. 91st and Linden Blvd when a man in a hoodie opened fire into Troy’s red Maserati. He was hit in the shoulder and the bullet remains lodged in his back.
“He looked to his left. He saw that the guy had a gun and was about to fire, and he started driving away,” said his attorney John Stella. “He continued driving and he reached the point where he was bleeding pretty profusely, and apparently a good Samaritan drove him and his girl a couple of blocks the rest of the way to Brookdale.”
As far as his condition, Stella says, “He’s in pain, but he’s grateful. He said to me that he feels blessed that this wasn’t fatal in the end.”
This news comes just seven months after he was shot in the leg while at a T.I. concert at Irving Plaza. He is due in court next month for the shooting death of his body guard.
Think its time to move. Lets chat below!
