California rapper Tan DaGod was shot dead while hosting a grand opening at Glamor Beauty Supply in Oakland. She had heavily promoted her appearance online and shared a video of herself meeting fans at the event on Saturday.
She was shot around 5 p.m. on Saturday, prompting fans who had come to meet her to flee to nearby stores for safety, witnesses told KRON.
“I heard some shooting I thought it was part of their music,” one worker at a restaurant across the street told the outlet.
