Video After The Jump
Only the people who were inside the green room when the Troy Ave shooting occurred actually know what happened. Since that is the case, there's been rampant unsubstantiated rumors about the May 25 incident at New York City's Irving Plaza..
Most of the inaccurate information has originated from wanna be internet sleuths
The facts as we know them at this point are that four people were shot backstage at the T.I. concert that night.
30-year old Ronald McPhatter was killed.
Troy Ave, 30, was shot in both legs, Christopher Vinson, 34, is recovering from a chest wound and 26-year old model, Maggie Carrie Heckstall, is healing up following surgery to repair damage from a gunshot to her knee.

Only Troy has been arrested at this point. Police are looking for another individual or individuals that may have shot him and McPhatter, before surveillance camera footage shows the BSB Records owner firing a weapon.
Lord Jamar recently sat down with VladTV to offer his take on the situation.
"We see the video of (Troy) busting through the door popping off. The initial thing (I thought) was 'Whoa, you just did some crazy shit on camera.' And it appeared that he was being real reckless," Jamar said. "That just seemed real crazy, like why would he do that? As time goes on you start to hear more stories and things like that makes a lot more sense.
"What we're hearing now is he went from looking like the craziest man in the world to maybe being a fucking hero out here," the Brand Nubian rapper continued. "As far as the story I'm hearing, if that's the real story, that makes a lot more sense. If I just saw you shoot my man and you just shot me, and now I got ahold of the gun .. he just did some real nigga shit. He saw his man get hit, got shot in the leg, had the presence of mind to pick up the gun, calmly walk through the door and start popping? That's the type of shit that real motherfuckers is taught to do."
