Another gunshot victim arrived at a nearby hospital sometime later and is reportedly expected to be OK. Tan DaGod died at the hospital.
The 27-year-old was hosting a meet and greet at the store. According to the 'Bay Area News Group,' the up-and-coming rapper was "getting into a dispute" with another person when the shooting occurred. The owner of a nearby restaurant told 'KRON-4' that a "guy in a hoodie" started shooting.
Tan DaGod appeared on Lil Blood's podcast in 2022, describing why she called herself "The GOAT" for a time.
"I believe that everybody in here is a god," she said.
"I felt like Cali was either going to give me a case, or I was going to wind up hurting somebody, or somebody was going to be trying to hurt me," she said. "When I left I felt twenty times richer."
Tan DaGod's death was Oakland's 51st homicide of the year.
