Detroit rapper Peezy had a run-in with two gunmen on Friday (July 16) after they ran up on his car while he was sleeping inside.
According to The Detroit News, Peezy's girlfriend called the police after hearing screaming and gunshots outside of her home. When police arrived, they found two armed men fighting and one was heard shouting "Who sent you?" Peezy later told police that he fought the gunmen and bit one of them several times, which is when the gun is believed to have gone off.
One of the gunmen, 29-year-old Marquise Pope from Birmingham, Alabama, was arrested at the scene and treated for minor injuries. Pope was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and a firearms offense, and he was held on $250,000 bond. On July 26, Pope is due in court for a probable cause hearing, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
There was a second suspect involved in the shooting, who remains on the loose.
