BROWNSVILLE, BROOKLYN — Brooklyn rapper Troy Ave was in stable condition Sunday night after he was shot in his car Sunday afternoon in Brownsville, Brooklyn, cops said. The 34-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to the arm and a graze wound on his head, police told Patch.

According to the NYPD, the rapper was driving a red Maserati at around 4:20 p.m. when a man approached his car and fired several rounds.

Troy Ave, whose real name is Roland Collins, crashed into a parked car right after he was shot, police sources told News 12 Brooklyn.

"In Brooklyn, going to meet his family for the holiday, he was shot two times. Thankfully, he will survive the second attempt on his life. As we have said from the beginning – he is a victim. We pray for his speedy recovery."
