A tragic event unfolded at a new store opening in Oakland, Calif., over the weekend, claiming the life of rapper Alliauna Green, known by her stage name TanDaGod, reports KTVU. The incident occurred during the grand opening of Glamor Beauty Supply on July 13.

TanDaGod, a well-known local recording artist who supported Black-owned businesses, had been invited to the store for a meet-and-greet with her fans. The event marked the reopening of Glamor Beauty Supply, which had been shut down in May and recently taken over by new owners.

A witness to the shooting, Sul Cho, who works nearby at a Korean BBQ restaurant said, “Everybody, like, ducked and hide behind the cars.”

Glamor Beauty Supply’s new owner had invited TanDaGod to perform at the event to draw attention to the store’s reopening. However, the celebration took a horrifying turn when the rapper was approached and shot while performing.

“She was performing there, and this guy with a hood just walked in through that gate and started shooting,” Cho recounted.
