Multiple people were shot in Downtown Long Beach Sunday, March 1, near the grand opening for a new location of late-rapper Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon Burger restaurant.
Just after 3:30 p.m., officers responded to the 200 block of Pine Avenue after a shooting, according to the Long Beach Police Department. Police didn’t specify how many people were shot or hospitalized, or the severity of their injuries.
Police said the motive and circumstances surrounding the shooting and any suspect information all remained under investigation on Sunday evening.
The shooting took place about half a block from the new Long Beach location of Marathon Burger, at 245 Pine Ave., No. 110, according to CBS Los Angeles.
Crowds gathered hours earlier to celebrate the restaurant’s grand opening, with a ribbon-cutting by Snoop Dogg, who helped bring the well-known Los Angeles fast food chain to Long Beach.
Footage of the aftermath of the shooting posted on social media shows at least one victim being loaded into an ambulance.
Marathon Burger was founded by the late rapper Nipsey Hussle and his family. The restaurant was built in partnership with Snoop Dogg.
Hustle, born Ermias Asghedom, was fatally shot in the head and body on W. Slauson Avenue in Los Angeles in 2019 as he stood with two other men in the parking lot in front of the clothing store and several other businesses he owned.
His killer, Eric R. Holder, Jr., was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison.
