Rapper Obie Trice, who was part of Eminem’s Shady Records was arrested arrested after an 18-year-old man was shot at a Detroit-area home, authorities said Friday.
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said Obie Trice, 42, was jailed after deputies took him into custody and secured a pistol he was ordered to drop. Officials say Trice and his girlfriend were fighting at the Commerce Township home and the woman’s son intervened.
As the woman and her son tried to leave the home, Trice retrieved a gun and it discharged during a struggle between him and the teen, a sheriff’s release said. The 18-year-old was shot in the groin and fractured his pelvis. He was taken to a hospital and later released.
The pistol recovered from the scene is unregistered, officials said. Trice remained jailed Friday afternoon and it wasn’t immediately clear if he has an attorney.
I hope she’s done with him. Her son was standing up for her, she should definitely stand up for him. People need to stop being short-tempered. Intervening when you’re seeing your Momma get hit is normal. Shooting at her son wasn’t a mistake. He could have just tried to push him to the side but to pull out a gun took thought. I hope there is some serious regret, rehabilitation and repentance that comes out of this.
