Rod Wave Arrested On Multiple Charges After Shooting Incident In ATL

Rod Wave was arrested in Fulton County, Georgia, on May 20, 2025, facing a slew of serious charges tied to an incident from a month earlier. 

The 26-year-old rapper, born Rodarius Marcell Green, was booked on 14 counts, including Aggravated Assault, Reckless Conduct, Pointing a Gun at Someone, and Tampering with Evidence. He was released the same day on a $50,000 bond. According to a police report, the trouble began on April 21, when Rod returned to his Atlanta-area home after it had been burglarized. 

The Florida rapper showed up with realtors and a few associates to check on things, but things quickly went south. A heated argument broke out with one of his associates while they were moving items out of the house. That’s when Rod allegedly pulled out a Glock 20 and fired 14 shots, with 11 of those rounds hitting the associate’s 2025 Mercedes G-Wagon.

When the cops showed up, Rod reportedly tried to cover up his tracks by cleaning up shell casings and even attempted to leave the scene to avoid getting caught. On top of that, his actions allegedly violated an active bond from a previous battery charge dating back to October 2020. Rod’s legal team, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, quickly shot back with a statement to TMZ, saying, “Rod Green was a victim of a burglary and committed no crimes. It’s beyond us how these charges were even brought.”

This isn’t Rod Wave’s first brush with the law. He was arrested in 2022 on charges of strangulation and battery, but those were dropped. In 2024, he was also arrested for possession of a firearm, which his attorneys said was a mistake. Despite the latest charges, his legal team is confident the case will be cleared up in his favor.
