Now police are seeking a second shooter...

From PIX11 News
It was initially believed that Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave, whose real name is Roland Collins, accidentally shot himself and killed his bodyguard in the chaos, an allegation his lawyer Scott E. Leemon disputes. Collins, in a wheelchair as he recovers from a gunshot wound, was charged Monday with attempted murder.
But investigators now say someone else may have fired the shot that hurt Collins and left his body guard Ronald McPhatter dead.
Someone who has an on-going dispute with Collins allegedly approached the rapper and another person at the venue and a fight ensued, sources said. During the fight, that person allegedly shot Collins in the leg and struck McPhatter in the stomach.
