As the Tory Lanez Los Angeles trial continued yesterday the plot twists kept coming as eyewitness testimony painted both Lanez and Kelsey Harris as shooters.
The seventh day of the Tory Lanez Los Angeles trial was just as interesting and confusing as every day that proceeded it. Sean Kelly, an eyewitness to the July 2020 shooting of Megan The Stallion took the stand to deliver his testimony. According to Billboard, the testimony was another confusing version of the night that contradicted itself and other testimonies.

Eyewitness Testimony Claims Tory Lanez & Kelsey Harris Both Fired The Gun Outside Of His Home Injurying Megan Thee Stallion
Sean Kelly testified that when he first looked outside of his home that night he witnessed Megan and Kelsey having a violent altercation outside of a vehicle.
“They were pulling their hair and hitting each other. It was quite violent,” he told Lanez’s attorney George Mgdesyan.
Then a man who fit the descriptions of Lanez’s driver Jaquan Smith got out of the vehicle and allegedly attempted to restore order. Kelly maintained he then heard a gunshot. That’s when he saw Lanez exit the vehicle and the situation turned into a four-way altercation before four or five more shots were let off.
The confusion came when Kelly contradicted himself claiming he believed one of the women fired the weapon then later confirming he saw “the shorter guy” (Lanez) holding the weapon. One stand-out moment in the testimony was Kelly revealing three people were beating one woman, before fleeing the scene.
“The cops are coming!” Kelly claimed he heard before seeing someone in the group pick the woman up — at which point he believed the group was going to attempt to throw her into a nearby creek. “It appeared to me they were trying to kill her. Dragged her across the street and picked her up,” he said.
During cross-examination from the prosecution, Kelly once again claimed he saw Lanez shoot the gun.
“The short guy was agitated; he got out of the car. His arm was stretched out and he was firing everywhere. Four or five shots.”
During the redirect with Tory’s lawyer, Kelly again contradicted his story. Kelly stated, “I believe the girl [Harris] fired the first shot”. Confusing testimony which offered an entirely new perspective on what may have happened the night Megan was shot.
