“The opening was a huge success with strong community support,” the spokesperson told CBS News. “There was an incident nearby, but it was not connected to the event. The opening itself proceeded safely and without issue.”

In one video on social media, Stevie Wonder orders food and speaks with Nipsey Hussle’s brother, Blacc Sam. He was one of several celebrities in attendance. YG, Snoop Dogg, and others also made appearances.

The Marathon Burger Instagram account shared a clip of Snoop at the event as well, in which he remarks: “We thank y’all for coming out, we love y’all. L.B.C in the house tonight.” In the caption, the company wrote: “Don’t let the media fool you. It was a beautiful energy in the atmosphere today. It was so packed and powerful someone had to hate on it.”

Police are still investigating the incident, and a motive remains unclear. “The motive, circumstances of the shooting, and suspect information remain under investigation,” Long Beach Police Department spokesperson Andrea Moran said, according to the Long Beach Post.

Eric VanDyke, a relative of Nipsey Hussle, told ABC7 that the late rapper would’ve wanted the event to be peaceful. “It was disappointing because I know that Nip, Blacc Sam [Nipsey Hussle’s brother] wanted this to be a happy occasion, so it’s unfortunate that something happened that would bring more attention to the negative elements as opposed to the positive elements,” he said.

The shooting comes after the city of Los Angeles renamed the intersection of Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue as “Nipsey Hussle Square.”

Unfortunately, the grand opening of a fourth location in Long Beach, California quickly went south. A shooting near the new establishment sent hundreds, who were looking forward to supporting the business, into a panic.

According to the Long Beach Post, police responded around 3:32 p.m. on March 1, shortly after the restaurant opened its doors at 245 Pine Ave. It happened about half a block to the south—feet away from the perimeter of the celebration—on Broadway near Pine Avenue.

A couple of folks who were in attendance were able to grab video footage during and after the horrifying incident. One Instagram user by the name of Adalogy, captured police gathering near a parking garage moments after gunshots rang off.

Cops can be seen handcuffing one man on who’s laying on the ground while directing people away from the scene. Then, in a series of clips caught by Live Bitez and reshared by DJ Akademiks, another man who recorded the ordeal shows two others being put into the back of police cars.

The second video fast forwards to the aftermath of the shooting where one person is being taken out on a stretcher. In the third clip, another potential victim is put into a police vehicle despite seemingly being severely hurt.

Overall, this Marathon Burger tragedy resulted in two men being injured with a third being fatally wounded. The latter was taken to a hospital and succumbed to his injuries there per the Long Beach Post.

The two other men are in stable condition as of an 8 p.m. update per Fox 11 Los Angeles.

Both sources also report that there’s still a lot to uncover from this attack. “The motive, circumstances of the shooting, and suspect information remain under investigation,” Long Beach Police Department spokesperson Andrea Moran told the LBP. Additionally, no arrests have been made.

Conversely though, Casey Parker, who represents Marathon Burger, told Fox 11 Los Angeles that the shooting had no ties to the grand opening. “It wasn’t related to the restaurant at all. People were eating ice cream and playing basketball games.” Additionally, Parker said that organizers had security, street closures and a police presence.

One other witness said that there were tensions brewing between some groups. “Eventually there’s going to be something when you have different gangs coming into your neighborhood. That’s what transpired tonight,” the man claimed.

Despite the chaos, Marathon Burger stayed open throughout the day. They posted on their social media showing off the great turnout, which even brought in Stevie Wonder.

Awards & Commercial Performance

While “All The Way Up” was nominated for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance at the Grammys, it ended up losing. After all, 2016 was an extremely competitive year for rap hits. Having said that, the song peaked at 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is now three-times platinum in the United States, meaning it has sold three million units. It remains one of the biggest hits of Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s storied careers.
