Los Angeles. Canadian rapper Tory Lanez has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for fatally shooting American hip hop star Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.
Lenz, 31, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, pleaded guilty in December 2022 to three felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, possession of a loaded firearm in a vehicle and use of a firearm with gross negligence.
He was sentenced by a Los Angeles judge on Tuesday afternoon after a marathon hearing that lasted two full days.
According to a BBC report, Lenz shot the stallion in the leg in July 2020 during an argument after a pool party hosted by Kylie Jenner.
Stallion said in a written statement on Monday that he “has not felt a single day of peace” since the shooting.
During his sentencing, Lenz said that he considered Stallion his friend but admitted that “I did wrong that night”.
Prosecutors had initially sought a prison sentence of 13 years, but the judge decided on a 10-year sentence.
Lenz’s attorney requested either probation or a minimum prison sentence. After sentencing, his lawyer said his client would appeal against the prison sentence.
The 31-year-old rapper has been held in the county jail since his conviction in December.(IANS)
