Troy Ave and the cops have two different interpretations about what happened during the shooting at the T.I. concert.
Cops say Troy Ave starting shooting recklessly backstage killing his friend and shooting himself in the leg.
Troy Ave’s version of events is quite different. Here is what his attorneys had to say.
“What really happened here is Mr. Collins here is the real victim,” said another Collins attorney, Scott Leemon. “The person who was killed at this event, he died a hero. He was his bodyguard. He wasn’t shot by Mr. Collins. He was a lifelong friend.”
He also said the video tells only part of the story. “This 11 seconds of video that the NYPD released, it doesn’t say what happened before, it doesn’t say what happened after. The scientific evidence will show he didn’t shoot himself.”
The victim’s brother, Shanduke McPhatter, shared a social media post Monday that said a man with outspoken podcaster TaxStone was the shooter. That person fired at Ronald McPhatter and Troy, and then dropped the gun, the post said.
Troy picked up the weapon and it was that gun he was firing in the cops’ video, the post claimed.
Troy Ave is being held without bond after pleading not guilty.
