Los Angeles County prosecutors have concluded their case in the trial of rapper and fashion mogul A$AP Rocky, who is facing charges of firing a gun at a former friend on a Hollywood street in 2021. Over eight days of testimony, five witnesses were called, including police officers, a detective, and a firearms expert. The key witness was the accuser, A$AP Relli, who testified for about three days, alleging that Rocky fired two shots at him during a confrontation in Hollywood.

Rihanna, Rocky's partner, and mother of their children, attended the courtroom session after several days of absence. The defense is now set to call witnesses, starting with A$AP Twelvyy, a member of the A$AP Mob crew present at the scene. The defense has not confirmed whether Rocky will testify.
