The Easter shooting that caused Rod Wave’s arrest isn’t proven to be due to religious factors
On Easter day on Sunday, the shooting occurred outside the sports Bar and Lounge in the south of Pinellas County, St. Pete. In the incident, four people got shot, but luckily, their injuries were non-life-threatening.
However, police arrested three men for their involvement in the shooting. During investigations, officials discovered that the suspect in the shooting has ties to the billboard chart topper singer Rod Wave.
They said, “Investigators identified two homes connected to the suspects in the shooting, one in St. Pete and another in Manatee County. Both homes were rented by Wave or one of his businesses.”
But, later, the St. Pete police department released the Great Gatsby singer from the bar, stating, “He was arrested on a charge that was later determined not to be accurate, so he was released. This investigation is still open and ongoing, and we are still looking to arrest more people, and additional charges could be forthcoming.”
Though Rod Wave is no longer inside the prison, the shooting incident that drew him under the law intrigued his well-wishers, leading them to see whatever happened through the lens of religion, but it’s not true.
As reported by ABC Action News, the shooting occurred after the group of men had a random verbal argument over something undisclosed. Well, we believe that it may not be religion.
