Rapper Pooh Shiesty could get a boost in his Miami nightclub shooting case after the man he allegedly shot reportedly took back his original statement to police.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, security guard Frivin said hospital staff gave him Dilaudid, a powerful opioid painkiller, on the night he was shot. He says the medication left him with no memory of speaking with detectives.
TMZ reports that Shiesty’s attorneys, Bradford Cohen and Saam Zangeneh, filed a motion this week that includes sworn testimony from Frivin recanting his earlier account. In it, Frivin says he does not remember the rapper aiming or firing at him at King of Diamonds in Miami. He also says he does not want to press charges and does not want to be contacted by Florida investigators.
Shiesty’s lawyers argue the new testimony is enough for prosecutors to support his release on bond. It is not yet clear how prosecutors will respond.
The development comes after a judge revoked his bond in a separate earlier case and ordered him to stay in jail until trial. Shiesty has not been convicted in the Miami case, and the allegations remain unproven.
