LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Justin Edison, Megan Thee Stallion's former bodyguard and a crucial witness in the case against Tory Lanez, has "gone missing" prior to his scheduled court appearance. Lanez is currently being sued for assault after it was alleged that he shot Stallion in the foot in 2020. Edison was scheduled to testify in the case next week.

In a statement shared with TMZ on Saturday, December 17, Stallion’s attorney, Alex Spiro, confirmed the news. "We recently learned that Justin Edison went missing right before he was scheduled to appear in court," Spiro said, adding, "The LAPD is currently looking into his disappearance, and welcome any information about his whereabouts." However, Edison has not been listed as a missing person yet, a spokesperson for the department said. When asked if it was wrong to say the police were searching for Edison, the spokesperson said, "Yeah, because it makes him look sound like he’s a criminal."
