UPDATE: Controversial rapper Kodak Black (aka Bill Kapri) has been identified as one of the three people shot last night outside the Justin Bieber after-party in West Hollywood, according to law enforcement officials and various media accounts.
Black fled the scene after the incident, but later phone police from a nearby location to report he had been shot. It is unclear if he was hospitalized or whether he faces any charges.
Footage captured by TMZ, shows Kodak Black leaving the after-party with an entourage and fellow rapper Gunna. In the footage, they paused for fan photos.

Kapri, born Dieuson Octave, has an extensive criminal record. He was sentenced to prison in 2019 for weapons possession and was later pardoned by President Donald Trump.
Black’s representatives have not commented as yet on his condition or the incident.
