Blueface Gets Probation for Las Vegas Shooting

Blueface has been sentenced to a maximum of three years of probation after pleading guilty in July to charges of battery and discharging a firearm at or into an occupied structure, his attorney, Kristina M. Wildeveld, tells Pitchfork. “He has the ability to earn a reduction to a gross misdemeanor charge upon successful completion of his probation,” Wildeveld added. “He is ultimately just looking forward to getting back to focusing on his music career and moving forward with his life.”

The rapper was arrested last year in connection with the shooting of a man named Kentavious Traylor at a Las Vegas strip club. He was initially charged with attempted murder in the case, but he pleaded guilty to reduce the charge to battery.

Blueface was recently charged in Clark County, Nevada, with felony robbery. The new charge stems from an alleged incident involving a fan who tried to film Blueface’s sometime partner Chrisean Rock using a cellphone. The rapper has a status hearing in the case set for Wednesday, October 4, according to online court records.
