Rapper Blueface has been arrested in Las Vegas for attempted murder, use of a deadly weapon and discharging a gun into an occupied structure, vehicle, or craft on Tuesday.
Blueface, real name Johnathan Porter, 25, was arrested outside a business on Hughes Center Drive on Tuesday in charges stemming from a shooting that took place on October 8.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police confirmed that he will be booked into Clark County Detention Center with arrest records showing his arraignment is scheduled for 8am on Wednesday.
Blueface had been with his girlfriend Chrisean Rock at Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles at the time of his arrest, his manager Wack 100 revealed to Rolling Stone.
The rapper was also booked for operating an unregistered vehicle, trailer, or semi, according to arrest records.

Footage of Blueface’s arrest was obtained by TMZ, in which plain clothes police officers were seen swooping on the rapper and handcuffing him while he is on the ground.
Onlookers can be heard asking why he is being arrested as multiple plain clothes officers turned him over from his stomach and led him away in handcuffs, as they are told he has a warrant.
His girlfriend Rock also took to her Instagram story to confirm she would be going to court on Wednesday to support Blueface and said she expects he will come ‘coming home’ afterwards.
