An "Under The Influence Of Music Tour" stop
was cancelled last night (August 23) as a result of a shooting in the
San Francisco Bay Area.
A 38-year old man was shot and killed backstage at a Wiz Khalifa concert on Friday night (August 22) according to the LA Times. The shooting took place at the Mountain View, California stop of the rapper’s Under The Influence Tour and was the cause for the cancellation of a planned Chula Vista show last night (August 23).
According to the Times, members of the Mountain
View Police Department arrived at the scene of the concert around 11:00
pm after several calls tipped them off to gunshots at the show. The
suspect, an unnamed African American male between five-foot-six and
five-foot-eight, is reportedly at large. The Mountain View Police have
asked audience members to pass on any information or photographs that
may help them find him.
The identity of the victim, who was shot multiple times, has not been released. According to TMZ,
the suspect and victim were arguing backstage before the shooting. The
site also reports that Wiz Khalifa was onstage during the shooting and
that police don’t believe either party to be directly affiliated with
the rapper.
