Rapper A$AP Rocky was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport on Wednesday morning in connection with a 2021 shooting, the Los Angeles Police Department said. The rapper, whose legal name is Rakim Mayers, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon.
Police said the arrest was linked to a November 6, 2021, shooting that occurred around 10:15 pm near Hollywood after "an argument between two acquaintances." The 33-year-old rapper is accused of firing a handgun at another person, who sustained a minor injury.

"Detectives worked diligently to investigate and corroborate the reporting information which helped identify the suspect(s) involved," LAPD said in a release Wednesday. "This case will be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for consideration."
