Former Terror Squad star Remy Ma went on trial for the July 2007 shooting of her former friend Makeda Barnes-Joseph in a Manhattan courtroom on Monday.

Remy is charged with assault, witness intimidation, and other charges stemming from the shooting, which reportedly occurred after the rapper discovered that $3,000 was missing from her purse.

During opening arguments on Monday, defense attorney Ivan Fisher claimed the victim’s story about the shooting had changed since she testified before a grand jury. Fisher says the two women struggled over the gun and it went off accidentally.

The state tells a different story. According to prosecutors, Remy fired two .45 caliber slugs into Makeda’s abdomen, fled in a Cadillac Escalade. and slammed into a parked car a few blocks away. Remy then abandoned her SUV and went to a friend’s house without calling for medical help.

Remy is facing a maximum sentence of tweny-five years behind bars.
