Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave allegedly fires at robbery suspect in San Diego


A video circulating online appears to show Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave, born Roland Collins, firing a handgun at a man believed to be attempting a robbery in San Diego.

The incident reportedly occurred in a parking lot or alleyway as Troy Ave returned from an event with celebrity chef and promoter Geoff Cole.

Security footage, shared on social media by Cole, shows an unidentified suspect approaching the pair at close range before Troy Ave is seen drawing a weapon and firing multiple shots. It remains unconfirmed whether the suspect was hit.

Cole praised the rapper in a now-deleted post, writing that Troy Ave “held it down” during a dangerous situation when others “would’ve run.”

This marks the rapper’s first reported firearm-related incident since his widely covered 2016 involvement in a shooting at a TI concert in New York. That event resulted in one death and multiple injuries. Troy Ave served time at Rikers Island and has been involved in multiple legal proceedings since.

As of now, the San Diego Police Department has not released an official statement. No arrests or charges related to this alleged shooting have been confirmed. Troy Ave’s team has not issued any public comment.

The footage continues to circulate online as viewers debate the legality and context of the incident. Authorities are expected to review surveillance and witness reports to determine next steps.
