(Gossip-Grind News) Man Shot And Killed Outside Of Lil Durk Concert:

A 25-year-old man was shot and killed outside of a Lil Durk concert Friday (Sept. 4). People were waiting to come into the show at the Theatre of the Living Arts around 8pm when the shooting happened. Police rushed the man to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:37 p.m. of a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Gunfire erupted as a crowd waited outside the Theater of Living Arts — commonly called the TLA — concert hall on South Street between 3rd and 4th about 8:20 p.m., police said. Rapper Lil Durk had a concert scheduled at the venue at 7 p.m., but the show had not started yet. One man, whom police have not yet identified, was badly wounded.

That man died of a gunshot wound to his abdomen a short time later at Hahnemann University Hospital. Police estimated that the victim was in his 20s.

The suspected shooter got away in a limousine, and the limo was stopped a few blocks away, and three occupants were taken to Homicide for questioning.

Lil Durk’s tour bus was hit during the shooting. Shots went through the windshield of the bus, no one was injured on the bus.

The performance was canceled.
