It’s closely two months now since Tory Lanez allegedly shot Megan Thee Stallion in the feet and yet, no arrests have been made.
This has become a growing “concern” for insiders why additional charges have not been brought against the Canadian rapper. “This case is open and shut and I’m very concerned that we’re still lingering here,” a source told Page Six. “It’s not being treated with the same level of resources and focus as if it was a white college student.”
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office has reportedly been given all the evidence necessary to proceed with the case, including witness statements, text messages, a 911 call, video, and medical records, which proved that Megan Thee was shot because she suffered “gunshot wounds” on a traumatic night.
Moreover, Megan originally wanted to protect Tory by telling the police that she cut her feet on a glass. “Megan wasn’t going to name names, she wasn’t going to go there — she wasn’t planning on talking to police,” added the source. “She was protecting herself. People in her camp and in Tory’s camp shut everyone down so fast you could barely blink. But there were lies that were being spread and she wasn’t going to stand for it.”
Since the incident, which occurred on July 12, Tory Lanez has been silent while Megan Thee publicly accused him of shooting her during an Instagram Live on August 20. “Yes, this ni**a Tory shot me,” she said. “You shot me, and you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and shit. Stop lying.”
So far, Tory has only been arrested for possession of a concealed weapon, although the L.A. County District Attorney is considering charging him with felony assault with a firearm. “The case is proceeding, it’s just not proceeding with the same urgency as I think it could,” said an insider. “It’s reckless, in my opinion, to delay. There’s risks involved if you don’t do something.”
On the other hand, Megan’s legal counsel at Roc Nation Alex Spiro confirmed that he and his team have been cooperative. “I can confirm we have turned over our investigation and files to the L.A. District Attorney’s office and that we remain concerned that, given the irrefutable evidence, they have yet to take action,” Spiro said.
However, a spokesperson for LADA told Page Six that “LAPD is investigating” and that “Hollywood Area detectives presented the case to the District Attorney’s Office.”
It was reported earlier this week that Tory Lanez apologized to Megan in a text shortly after the shooting in the Hollywood Hills on July 12. “I know u prolly never gone talk to me again, but I genuinely want u to know I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart,” he allegedly wrote, before adding that he was intoxicated. “I was just too drunk.”
