After the madness at Irving Plaza left one dead and three injured, the NYPD finally revealed that Troy Ave has been arrested as the shooter involved in the melee that stopped T.I.'s schedule performance at the venue.

"Police arrested him at the hospital where he was getting treatment. He's been booked for reckless endangerment, criminal possession of a weapon, and menacing," according to TMZ.

"Cops have added an attempted murder charge and another count of criminal possession. We're told ballistic testing is ongoing, and depending on results, he could also get a murder charge."

Sources have stated that the shooting was a direct result of a conflict and bad blood between Ave and rapper Maino.

However, Maino issued a different response to the false reports in a recent Instagram post with a photo showing him with his arm around Troy Ave.

Unfortunately, T.I.'s concert happened to be cancelled and now the venue is demanding a $55,000 refund.

The surveillance video below released from the shootout shows a man who looks like Troy Ave, carrying and firing a gun. The investigation is still ongoing but it doesn't look good for Ave.
