A Los Angeles jury on Friday found Canadian rapper Tory Lanez guilty of three felonies in the 2020 shooting of hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion that left her wounded with bullet fragments in her feet.

The jury of seven women and five men deliberated for one day before convicting the 30-year-old rapper from Brampton, Ont., of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. The counts could lead to up to 22 years in prison.

Lanez, whose legal name is Daystar Peterson, showed no visible reaction as the verdict was read. He was handcuffed while in the courtroom.
