When Lanez was arrested, it was on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle - not for allegedly shooting Megan. It still appears to be unclear why Lanez allegedly shot Megan. Megan claimed in the video, however, that Lanez did it for “no reason.”
District Attorney’s Office for more information on Friday, but has not yet heard back. It’s unclear whether Meg’s public statement ultimately played a role in prosecutors’ decision to bring felony charges. In late August, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office said that the office had “asked law enforcement for further investigation before making a filing decision on a charge of felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm, personal use of a firearm.” However, prosecutors asked law enforcement to do this on July 24 - so their request had nothing to do with her public statement. What role did Meg’s public statement on Lanez play in this case? was “not an accomplice to the above offense.” The criminal complaint identified the person Lanez allegedly “inflicted great bodily injury upon” as “MEGAN P.” The complaint said Megan P. “The victim exited the vehicle and Peterson is accused of shooting several times at her feet and wounding her.” “The defendant and the 24-year-old victim got into an argument while riding in an SUV in the Hollywood Hills,” the prosecutors’ statement said. prosecutors didn’t give many details in their press release announcing charges against Lanez, their statement on the case appeared to mirror Megan’s claims. According to TMZ, Megan originally told cops that she had cut her foot on glass. She also said that the shooting didn’t relate to Lanez’s purported romantic interest in Kylie Jenner. Megan insisted that rumors she had hit Lanez were bogus. She alleged that Lanez shot her through the car’s back window. Megan, who was in the front seat, left the car. Here’s what we know about where the shooting case stands so far.Īccording to a recent latest Instagram Live, Megan claimed that she was in Lanez’s car with him, his bodyguard, and her friend, and that the four were arguing. On October 8, there was a major development in the investigation: The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced felony assault and gun charges against Lanez. I didn’t want the police to shoot me cause there’s a n- with a gun in the car with me.” All this shit going on with the police … I didn’t want to die. “When the police came because the neighbors called the police … the police come - I’m scared. “I didn’t get cut by no glass, but let me tell you why they’re saying that,” Megan said.
In her video, Megan admitted that she didn’t tell cops what happened, explaining she thought the LAPD was “aggressive” - while recognizing she should have been up front immediately. Some early reports even said that Megan’s injuries resulted from broken glass, not a gunshot. (Lanez was released on $35,000 bail.) The Los Angeles Police Department reportedly had difficulties in finding witnesses who would help in their investigation. While Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, was arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a vehicle, he was not arrested for allegedly shooting Megan, real name Megan Pete. “Yes, this n- Tory shot me,” Megan said in the video. In an Instagram Live video, Megan alleged that Lanez’s publicist was intentionally attempting to spread false information about the shooting, for which she was hospitalized and underwent surgery. On August 20, 2020, Megan Thee Stallion claimed that Tory Lanez was the gunman who shot her in the foot following a July 12 pool party at Kylie Jenner’s house - the first time she publicly identified him, or anyone, as her shooter.
