The woman who says she was shot in the abdomen by Remy Ma has withdrawn a $20 million civil lawsuit against the rapper, but she may be waiting for the outcome of the current criminal trial to refile, according to reports.
Makeda Barnes-Joseph filed the civil suit in December of 2007, claiming that Remy Ma, born Remy Smith, shot her over a dispute regarding money stolen from Remy's purse.
Jurors in the trial heard directly from Barnes-Joseph on Friday (March 14), when she testified about the argument that led up to her shooting. According to Barnes-Joseph, Remy Ma jumped into Barnes-Joseph's vehicle demanding to examine the contents of her purse.
Barnes-Joseph said she denied taking Remy's money and refused to empty her purse so that Remy could look through it herself. It was then that Remy shot her in the stomach, Barnes-Joseph testified.
Remy Ma's defense attorney, Ivan Fisher, maintains that the shooting was accidental. The rapper faces up to 25 years in prison if found guilty of the charges against her, including first degree assault.
