Ave, 30, has been charged with attempted murder in addition to two counts of criminal possession of a weapon after the tragedy took place at Irving Plaza on Wednesday night.

Ave accidentally shot himself during the incident. In a surveillance video released via Twitter by the New York police on Thursday, the rapper appeared to be bleeding from the leg while aiming and firing a handgun backstage at the venue.

It's still unclear whom Ave was actually trying to shoot. There have been speculations that he could have been aiming at Maino, who was coming off the stage when the shooting occurred. However, Maino's lawyers have ruled out the possibility because "there is no feud between rappers Maino and Troy Ave and never has been."
