Tory Lanez has been charged with shooting Megan Thee Stallion earlier this summer.
Lanez was charged with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, personal use of a firearm, and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle for an incident that took place in the Hollywood Hills in July, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced Thursday.
Lanez, 28, is also facing a "gun allegation and that he personally inflicted great bodily injury," the DA's office said.
The Canadian rapper will be arraigned on October 13 and if convicted could be sentenced with up to 22 years and eight months in state prison. Representatives for both rappers did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment.
While the DA's office did not identify Megan as the victim, she has spoken out about the shooting multiple times and named Lanez as the alleged shooter in August.
"You shot me, and you got your publicist and your people going to these blogs lying and s—. Stop lying. Why lie? I don't understand. I tried to keep the situation off the internet, but you're dragging it."
the "WAP" rapper, 25, said on Instagram Live, as captured by a fan's account on Twitter.
