In February, after winning three trophies at the 2024 Grammy Awards, Killer Mike was arrested at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena and booked for misdemeanor battery following an incident with a security guard. The Los Angeles city attorney’s office has now declined to file and pursue formal criminal charges against the Run the Jewels artist, TMZ reports.
A representative for Killer Mike confirmed to Pitchfork that the rapper is not being charged. Pitchfork has also reached out to representatives for the Los Angeles city attorney’s office for comment.
