On Tuesday (Jan. 28), Day 2 of the A$AP Rocky shooting trial took place in Los Angeles. The alleged victim, A$AP Relli, testified during the hearing, describing the night in question. Relli detailed the meeting with Rocky on Nov. 6, 2021 that went left.
“[Rocky] pointed [the gun] at me,” Relli told the jury in the video below. “That’s when [A$AP Illz] was in between. [Rocky] was like, ‘I’ll kill you right now, pu**sy.’ …I’m right behind [A$AP Illz] and I’m saying, ‘If you brought a gun use it then. Like, what the f**k you brought a gun for?'”
When asked to reveal where Rocky was pointing the gun, Relli responded, “Towards my stomach, toward my head-ish, a little…He was looking for a spot to shoot me.”
Relli went on to say he had no intentions of fighting Rocky that night because he he feared being blackballed.

A$AP Rocky Faces Up to 12 Years in Prison If Convicted
A$AP Rocky was arrested at LAX on April 20, 2022, after arriving on a private plane from Barbados, where he had been vacationing with his girlfriend Rihanna. He was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon for the shooting of A$AP Relli on Nov. 6, 2021. According to Relli, Rocky asked for a meeting in Hollywood, Calif., to talk over a disagreement the two A$AP Mob members were having. Rocky pulled up with A$AP Twelvyy and A$AP Illz. The discussion turned into an altercation and Relli claims Rocky pulled out a firearm and fired multiple shots in his direction, with one grazing Relli’s hand. Following a five-month investigation, Rocky was arrested and charged.
During a hearing back in November of 2023, the court saw a video from the incident that was captured on a security camera. The clip shows Rocky holding what appears to be a firearm during the altercation. In January of 2024, Rocky pleaded not guilty to the charges. At the start of the trial, Rocky declined a plea deal that would have seen him get three years of probation, a seven-year suspended prison sentence and 180 days in county jail.
The prosecution has revealed it will recommend a 10-to-12-year sentence if Rocky is found guilty. It is unclear if Rocky will take the stand.
