During the shooting, shoppers ducked for cover in a nearby doughnut store.
An employee at the shop named Vincent explained what he witnessed when violence broke out.
'I hear some shots and I thought the shots were part of the music, the performance, then I heard three really loud shots.

Another witness, Sul Cho, who works at a Korean BBQ restaurant near the beauty store said that the young rapper appeared to be targeted by the shooter.
'He was targeting her only, cause I saw it. He wasn’t shooting at everybody, he was just shooting at her,' Cho recalled.

Fans have speculated that the rapper's murder might have been fueled by ongoing tension between Green and her ex-boyfriend's family.
Green served jail time for shooting her ex-boyfriend in self-defense in 2020. After she was released, she was placed in protective custody, which she left to attend the meet-and-greet.
A resurfaced video from September 2023 showed Green sparking up a blunt next to a fake tombstone that read 'Here lies my ex' as she promoted her newest EP 'Ex Wood Pack.'

'You should've never died. You should've never played with me because then I gotta take it to the third degree,' Green said in the video as she giggled and faced the tombstone.
'I got this to be extra f****** childish, making families mad- oh well, cause they ain't gonna do sh** about it.'
