Rapper Troy Ave from Brooklyn with a beef was charged Thursday with opening fire backstage at Irving Plaza during a T.I. concert, killing one and wounding two others — and himself, police sources said.

Troy Ave, of Crown Heights, was charged with reckless endangerment and illegal weapons possession, according to sources.


Troy, who was to perform at the show, had a beef with Maino, who had just left the stage when at least five shots rang out, sources said.

“There is clear video, very graphic video. He walks right out, women all around, and starts shooting his gun,” a source said.

"It's an ongoing rap group rivalry, him and Maino."

Police said they were awaiting the result of ballistics tests before charging Troy Ave with murder.

It was unclear why Troy Ave allegedly gunned down Ronald “Edgar” McPhatter, who was said to be close to the rapper.

Troy Ave was arrested at NYU Langone Medical Center, sources said.
