After
being shot in an 'unprovoked attack,' Kodak Black is in stable condition.'
Four law enforcement sources involved with the
investigation told NBC News that Kodak Black, whose legal name is Bill Kapri,
was among four people shot early Saturday outside a restaurant in Los Angeles.
According to the Los Angeles Police Department, the
24-year-old Florida rapper and three others were shot; two were taken to a
hospital by ambulance and two were self-transported. All of them are in good
health.
Around 2:45 a.m., police responded to gunshots in the
400 block of North La Cienega Boulevard.
Though the cause of the dispute outside the club was
not immediately known, an LAPD spokesman said the victims were shot as they
exited the building.
Black's attorney, Bradford Cohen, told NBC News on
Monday that the shooting began with an "unprovoked attack" on someone
Kodak was with. When the rapper and security arrived to help that guy, "an
unidentified assailant fired several shots at them."
Kodak was hit in the leg and is in stable condition,
according to Cohen, with a complete recovery expected.
According to the LAPD, the incident occurred outside
The Nice Guy restaurant during a celebration following a Justin Bieber concert,
with NBC News reporting that the rapper was among those shot. According to TMZ
video, Black was posing for photos with a group of people when fighting
erupted, eventually resulting in gunfire.
Bieber has previously performed a private concert in
West Hollywood's Pacific Design Center as part of a city-wide celebration
leading up to the Super Bowl in 2022. The pop sensation, his wife Hailey
Bieber, Khloe Kardashian, Drake, and Tobey Maguire were among the A-listers
inside the afterparty, according to The Hollywood Reporter, though none were
present during the incident.
An altercation occurred at 2:45 a.m., according to the
Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD).
"A physical altercation involving multiple
individuals occurred at the place, according to the preliminary
investigation."
Gunshots were "fired by an unknown suspect,"
according to the report, who then fled.
