Young Jeezy has been caught up in some legal crossfire.

The rapper is one of five people who have been arrested in the course of the investigation into a fatal shooting at Wiz Khalifa's show Friday at the Verizon Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif.

Jeezy, whose real name is Jay Jenkins, has been busted on a weapons charge after a search of his tour bus turned up a firearm, according to the Mountain View Police Department, and as of this evening he was reportedly being held on $1 million bail.

The other men arrested were Kena Marshall, Peter Maynard, David Kuniansky-Altman, William Gilmore and Alexa Beason, according to police.

No one has been arrested in the killing of 38-year-old Eric Johnson, of Orinda, Calif.

"This remains an active homicide investigation and MVPD detectives are aggressively following up on all leads," the MVPD said in a press release. Authorities said that they received calls at 11:05 p.m. on Friday about gunshots fired at the concert venue. Johnson, who had been shot multiple times, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
