A rapper accused of opening fire at a deadly nightclub shooting was the victim, despite video showing him shooting a gun as patrons ran for their lives, his lawyer said Monday.
Rapper Roland (Troy Ave) Collins accused of attempted murder and of shooting himself in the leg was wheeled into court to face charges in the wild-west melee between shows Thursday at the Irving Place nightclub in Union Square.
After ballistics tests, Collins’ charges could be upgraded to murder in the death of 30-year-old Ronald (Edgar) McPhatter.
Collins pleaded not guilty, and was remanded without bail.
Collins, 33, winced as several officers and detectives took him out of a marked van and helped him into a wheelchair, where he sat with his right leg bandaged.
Collins pulled a gray t-shirt over his head as reporters asked him questions.
Prosecutors said Collins recklessly fired a gun five times in a crowded venue with no concern about the consequences.
"This defendant is on video coming out of the VIP room where the individuals were shot,” said Assistant DA Christine Keenan. ”He had the gun in his hand and was seen firing that gun in the direction of fleeing patrons."
Keenan said Collins did not wait for first responders after shooting himself.
"A van that belongs to him brought him to the hospital," she said.
Keenan said that when cops searched the van, they found three guns inside. She said a ballistics test confirmed one of those guns was the one used at Irving Plaza.
"This is still an ongoing investigation," she said, noting that there are pending charges.
But Collins lawyer, Scott Leemon, said the video tells only part of the story.
"What really happened here is Mr. Collins here is the real victim,” Leemon said. “The person who was killed at this event, he died a hero. He (McPhatter) was his bodyguard. He wasn't shot by Mr. Collins. He was a lifelong friend."
"This 11 seconds of video that the NYPD released, it doesn't say what happened before, it doesn't say what happened after. The scientific evidence will show he didn't shoot himself. This was another rush to judgement."
"In this case he's the victim and should be treated like the victim."
The suspect, who was scheduled to perform at the show, was feuding with rapper Maino, who is based in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Maino had just left the stage when his rival fired at least five shots from a 9-mm. handgun in a green room above the stage, sources said. Video shows the 33-year-old gunman barging into the backstage area just after 10 p.m. sporting a gold chain and opening fire as people scurried for cover.
“In the hip-hop world he's not known as one of these troublemakers," said John Stella, another Collins attorney. “He doesn't live a gangster rap lifestyle."
Two others were wounded during the shooting.
Man they're trying to frame that nikka. shyt is fucced up. The only shot Troy Ave made was the one caught on video. Period.
His lawyer nailed it. The pigs released the video with no context. It doesn't show what happened before or after.
Coli lawyers on the caseNikkas in here got me starting to believe Troy Ave ain't about that life, ain't never held a gun before, and was only trying to defend his ability to earn a living for him and his kids.

Thinking Troy might get off
Police were way to quick with the cheddar bob theory, just for them to release an edited tape
And how long does a ballistics test take for a famous case in Manhattan
It's obvious Troy was going after someone who was armed or could be armed
I'm thinking he still gets time for being reckless but he might even beat that too

5th bullet is still in the woman who was shot.
They tested the other 4 already

Choo Biggz exposed as the alleged 2nd shooter? He deleted ALL of his social media accounts after the incident.
This is Choo Biggz for those who don't know he did songs with 50 Cent & Fetty Wap
Speaking of irony listen to Troy Ave's Who Shot Ya? Freestyle where he shouts out the guy who eventually got murked
