Oakland Rapper Killed At Grand Opening Of Local Beauty Store
A rapper who appeared at a meet and greet was killed when she appeared at a new store opening in Oakland over the weekend.
According to KTVU, the shooting of Alliauna Green, also known as TanDaGod, took place at the grand opening of Glamor Beauty Supply on July 13. The killing happened during the day of the reopening of the beauty supply store which had been shut down in May. New owners reopened the store.
A witness to the shooting, Sul Cho, who works nearby at a Korean BBQ restaurant said, “Everybody like ducked and hide behind the cars.”
The new owner of Glamor Beauty Supply had reportedly invited TanDaGod to the store because she was a well-known local recording artist who supported Black-owned businesses. The opening was promoted as a meet and greet for her fans as well as the reopening of the supply store.
Cho mentioned the rapper was performing when she was approached and shot.
“She was performing there, and this guy with a hood just walked in through that gate and started shooting.”
TanDaGod was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead. Police stated another person was shot but survived the shooting.
NBC Bay Area reported that several witnesses claimed that there were about six men wearing masks who approached the rapper outside of the store and were arguing before shots rang out.
One of the witnesses, Rakeem, who goes by Hazpain, stated that it was a family vibe and very peaceful with other people showcasing their talent until the argument ensued.
“Then they started letting off more rounds. Then the building across the street got hit like five times. When shots went through the window and I was ducking behind the chairs in a donut shop,” Hazpain said.
A friend of TanDaGod, Ernest Holloway revealed that she recently opened an Airbnb in Florida and was only in town visiting.
The Oakland Police Department is investigating and asking if anyone has any information about the incident to contact the Homicide Section at (510) 238-3821 or the TIP LINE at 238-7950.
