A 27-year-old woman who was reportedly shot and killed at a grand opening party for a beauty supply shop in North Oakland has been identified as up and coming local rapper Tan DaGod.

Hours before being fatally shot, Tan DaGod was posting photos to Instagram, helping to promote the opening of Glamor Beauty, a beauty supply shop at 4013 Telegraph Avenue. She announced she would be there doing a meet-and-greet from noon to 1 pm Saturday. But at 5 pm, with the opening party apparently still going on, shots rang out and both Tan DaGod and another person were shot.

The other person is expected to survive their wounds, but Tan DaGod died at the hospital.

The owner of a nearby restaurant tells KRON4 that he witnessed the shooting, and just saw a "guy in a hoodie" come by and start shooting.

Police tell Bay Area News Group that Tan DaGod was "getting into a dispute" with another person when the shooting occurred.

This was Oakland's 51st homicide of the year. Anyone with information is asked to contact OPD at 510-238-3821 or the tip line at 510-238-7950. Videos and photos can be emailed to [email protected].

Oakland rapper Mistah FAB posted on Instagram Sunday about the death, writing that he had been booked to appear at the same event with Tan DaGod.

"The violence is beyond understanding the hurt the pain the trauma has made a forever lasting impact @tan.dagod I will always remember you as a hustling ass go getter, with a world of ambition,drive and courage and a heart big as TEXAS!!!!" he writes.

Appearing on Lil Blood's podcast two years ago, Tan DaGod talked about giving herself the name after going by "The GOAT" for a time. She said it was about projecting confidence in herself and her work.

"I believe that everybody in here is a god," she said.

Growing up in Oakland she said she was a tomboy, hanging out with her brother and friends, and therefore adopted more of a masculine rap persona that wasn't all about sex and sexuality. She also spoke of feeling like her life was in danger, or that she could end up arrested for something, which is why she left to go on tour in Virginia, New York, Texas and elsewhere a few years back.

"I felt like Cali was either going to give me a case, or I was going to wind up hurting somebody, or somebody was going to be trying to hurt me," she said. "When I left I felt twenty times richer."
