He was officially charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The primary evidence that prosecutors used was an 8-second surveillance video that police say shows Ave storming out of a green room and firing a gun.
The rapper sought $50,000 bail, but his request was denied and he is reportedly being held without bail until his trial.
Ave’s attorneys say he did not shoot himself in the leg, as initially reported, and instead they are portraying him as the victim in the incident that left one dead and three wounded.
