According to Karen Civil, there were reports that rapper Troy Ave's crew was involved in the shooting. Troy Ave's management said he was grazed by a bullet Wednesday night. The New York Daily News reported that Troy Ave was arrested on Thursday after the shooting. A rep for Anderson .Paak, who was also on the concert bill, confirmed to Complex on Wednesday that he wasn't injured.
50 Cent paid a visit to Bellevue Hospital early Thursday morning. "I'm here to support my friend, his girl was shot," 50 told PIX 11. "What's happened here is not good." According to XXL, 50 also visited Troy Ave. Though nothing has been confirmed by the NYPD, reports have surfaced that the man who died is BSBBanga, a member of Troy's entourage.
T.I. tweeted his condolences on Thursday after the shooting:
Complex reached out to a rep for T.I. who referred all inquiries to the NYPD. Irving Plaza did not immediately respond to a request for comment. We will continue to update this story as it develops.
