A man was shot and killed outside of Supperclub in Los Angeles, CA during Grammy weekend, TMZ reports.
The celebrity gossip site says the incident occurred Saturday (February 7) night, while ScHoolboy Q hosted an event inside the popular venue to celebrate his “Best Rap Album” Grammy nomination.
Two men reportedly began to argue outside of the club, when shots were fired. One person was shot in the head and pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.

Law officials told TMZ that both men involved in the altercation may have been affiliated with gangs. Police have detained a suspect.
At the moment, authorities are uncertain if the two men ever stepped into the club or if they have any affiliation with Schoolboy Q.
On Sunday (February 8), Supperclub took to social media to denounce the claims that its venue had anything to do with the shooting. The Hollywood venue released a statement regarding the matter but it has since been deleted from Instagram.

In addition, the club wrote via Twitter: “Our attorneys have reached out to @TMZ for a full retraction of the story which was clearly motivated by underlaying motives. There are several other nightclubs in close proximity of the shooting. Yet None were named. #why? @TMZ.”
Puff Daddy and DJ Drama hosted an after party for the Grammy Awards at the venue on Sunday.
