Incarcerated: Dec. 23, 2022
Charge: Assault with a Semiautomatic Firearm, Carrying a Loaded, Unregistered Firearm in a Vehicle and Negligent Discharge of a Firearm
Sentenced: 10 years in prison
What Happened: On July 12, 2020, Tory Lanez, real name Daystar Peterson, Megan Thee Stallion and Megan’s former friend, Kelsey Nicole Harris, were riding around in Los Angeles when an argument ensued that resulted in Megan getting shot in both of her feet. During his shooting trial, Tory’s defense attorneys raised questions if the rapper-singer really did shoot Megan.
In a December 2025 interview with NBC News, Tory Lanez maintained his innocence in the case and planned to appeal his conviction.
