A jury of five men and seven women was seated on Thursday at the trial of rapper ASAP Rocky, who is charged with firing a gun at a former friend in 2021.

Opening statements at the trial of the 36-year-old hip-hop superstar will likely begin on Friday after the 12 jurors were selected. Four alternates still need to be selected.
