Posted by Atlanta, GA – Burgeoning R&B artist Ann Marie was reportedly arrested in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday (December 1) for allegedly shooting a man. According to The Shade Room, Atlanta police officials have identified the victim as a 24-year-old male believed to be romantically involved with the singer.
Officers responded to a call from an Atlanta hotel around 6:25 p.m. local time and discovered a man laying on the floor with a gunshot wound to the head. He was transported to Grady Hospital “conscious and breathing” but required immediate medical assistance.

When detectives arrived at the scene, they spoke to Ann Marie who claimed the gun fell off the table, discharged and hit him in the head. Needless to say, her story has raised suspicion regarding her involvement in the incident.
The court of public opinion (read: Twitter) has already determined Ann Marie shot the man because he was allegedly cheating on her even though she supposedly has another boyfriend. The shooting immediately brought up the highly publicized Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez incident that went down in July.

Nobody deserves to get shot & these females trying to justify why Ann Marie did what she did is PATHETIC.”
