Tory Lanez's attorneys have revealed new information that suggests Kelsey Harris was the one who shot Megan Thee Stallion in 2020.

On Wednesday, May 14, the Toronto artist's legal team and his management held a press conference in Los Angeles regarding their plan to ask the government to pardon or commute the sentence of Tory Lanez, born Daystar Peterson. While at the podium, lead consultant Walter Roberts explained that his team was approached by a man named Bradley James, who worked as Harris' bodyguard during Peterson's trial in 2022. James claimed he was able to hear conversations between Harris, her husband and others.

"Mr. James informed Unite The People that he was a witness to the conversation Ms. Harris had where she stated she had the gun. She fired it three times. Mr. Peterson grabbed her arm, knocked it down and the gun fired two more times. In essence, Mr. Peterson never shot anybody."

Roberts said Peterson never touched or fired the gun. He also said the statement aligns with the testimony of witness Sean Kelly, who told the jury that he saw two women fighting and two men break up the fight. He also mentioned that police did not take DNA samples from the other potential suspects, including Harris and the driver at the time, that night. Peterson's DNA was collected, but analysts could not find his DNA on the gun.

James reportedly told Unite The People that he wanted to speak freely about the conversation he overheard because he did not sign any non-disclosure agreements. He also claimed his conscience wouldn't let Peterson sit in prison for something he did not do. The shocking update in the case came the day after Lanez was stabbed 14 times in prison.

As of this report, neither Harris nor Megan Thee Stallion has responded to the new claim from James. Watch the entire press conference here.
