Why Is Tory Lanez in Prison?

Tory is serving jail time because he was found guilty in December 2022 of shooting Megan in the foot. Though he pleaded not guilty in the case, a jury convicted him of the shooting, which occurred in July 2020 when he and Megan were leaving a party in Los Angeles.

During an April 2022 interview on CBS Mornings, Megan tearfully opened up about the incident between her and Tory. She recounted the argument they got into but insisted that it was “normal friend stuff” that escalated on his part.

“And then he started shooting. And I’m just like, ‘Oh, my God,’” Megan said. “He shot a couple of times. I was so scared. … I didn’t even want to move. I didn’t want to move too quick. I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, if I take a wrong step, I don’t know if he can shoot something that’s super-important. I don’t know if he could shoot me and kill me.’”
