One person is dead after a shooting near the grand opening of a new Marathon Burger restaurant in California. Blacc Sam, the late Nipsey Hussle’s brother, and Snoop Dogg partnered to open the newest location in Long Beach. The restaurant had an overwhelming turnout, as documented on social media. By Sunday afternoon,  nearby crowds reportedly turned into chaos after deadly gunfire rang out. The shooting follows a separate hometown honor for Nipsey, which his girlfriend, Lauren London, called a manifestation of his.

Details About Fatal Long Beach Shooting

According to KTLA5, Long Beach PD confirmed one person died in the shooting, though there were multiple victims. The 911 call came in at about 3:30 p.m. local time, citing a shooting near Broadway and Pine Avenue. KTLA reports that it occurred outside Marathon Burger during the grand opening. Long Beach Fire Department responders transported three adult males in their 20s to the hospital. One man was reportedly critically injured and needed life-saving medical attention outside of the restaurant. However, according to a police statement, that same man later died in the hospital.

Police are still investigating what led to the shooting, per KTLA. A witness told the outlet there was a line of 50 to 60 people waiting outside of Marathon Burger that allegedly scattered after hearing the gunfire down the street.

“It was literally chaos for like 10 or 15 seconds. I ducked behind one of the little boards you take photos at over there,” Tyerae Bailey said. “I only heard one gunshot. That’s actually what made me really lock in and take cover.”

Footage from the scene showed a lil’ bit of everything, from firefighters loading a gunshot victim onto a gurney to the arrest of two people.

Marathon Burger Says Shooting Is Not Connected To Restaurant

Speaking to KTLA, Marathon Burger shut down any talks of the deadly incident being connected to the restaurant or its grand opening.

“The opening was a huge success with strong community support. The incident being reported was NOT connected to our event or even within our block party. The opening itself proceeded safely and without issue. The restaurant remains open and customers are still flowing in and out,” the statement read in part.

Street Renamed After Nipsey Hussle

Also this weekend, the Hussle family, including the late rapper’s girlfriend Lauren London, celebrated the renaming of an intersection in his honor.

Now, the new ring is even bigger than the one that debuted last month. However, it remains unclear whether Jaz was wearing the ice on her left or right hand, replacing the recent ring upgrade.

Nonetheless, social media users are once again weighing in as the timing also raised eyebrows. The new ring reveal arrives during a week filled with heavy speculation surrounding YoungBoy and rumors surrounding Nique.

Whether it’s drama, comedy or something in between, TV show writers have never been afraid to surprise audiences with a memorable character death.

Back in March 1975, M*A*S*H became a TV death pioneer when Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake (McLean Stevenson) died in the season 3 finale. The character was headed home after being honorably discharged from the army, but before he could make it, he was killed by enemy fire.

Some 21st-century shows, however, make M*A*S*H‘s surprise death look tame.

Lost, which ran from 2004 to 2010, became known for its shocking twists before the first season was even finished. In the April 2005 episode “Do No Harm,” viewers were devastated when Boone (Ian Somerhalder) died after a plane fell on him in the jungle, and his passing was just the beginning.

Manifest, You, Game of Thrones and more hit series have also thrown fans for a loop by killing off fan favorites.

Scroll down for a look back at some of the most shocking deaths in TV history — and remember, spoilers ahead!

Michelle Williams broke her silence on the death of her former Dawson’s Creek costar James Van Der Beek.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, recorded on Sunday, March 1, at SAG’s 2026 Actor Awards in Los Angeles, Williams, 45, spoke candidly about how Van Der Beek’s death has impacted her.

“I’m thinking about him and I’m thinking about his family constantly,” she told the outlet. Van Der Beek died at the age of 48 on February 11 following a battle with cancer.

Williams, who played Jen Lindley opposite Van Der Beek’s Dawson Leery on the WB coming-of-age drama which ran from 1998 to 2003, also shared a message with the people who have contributed to the GoFundMe launched by Van Der Beek’s family in the wake of his death.

UPDATE — 2/13/26, 7:37 a.m. ET: The GoFundMe campaign has raised $2,125,661 by early Friday, February 13. Original story: The GoFundMe for James Van Der Beek’s widow, Kimberly Van Der Beek, and their six kids has hit a huge milestone. As of the evening of Wednesday,  February 11, the GoFundMe campaign has surpassed the $1 […]

“I also just want to say, like, it’s been such an amazing thing as James’ friend and a friend of the family to see the response in the wake of his passing and I just really want to say thank you to each and every person who contributed to sustaining their life and their children’s lives,” she told the outlet, who shared the interview via its X account. “It’s an incredibly meaningful thing to witness.”

Van Der Beek’s wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, confirmed his death via social media on February 11. “Our beloved James David Van Der Beek passed peacefully this morning. He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace,” she said in a statement shared via Van Der Beek’s Instagram at the time. “There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come. For now we ask for peaceful privacy as we grieve our loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend.”

Later that day, the GoFundMe was launched in an effort to support Kimberley and her six children. “James Van Der Beek was a beloved husband, father, and friend who touched the lives of everyone around him,” a description on the GoFundMe page read. “After a long and courageous battle with cancer, James passed away on February 11, 2026 leaving behind his devoted wife, Kimberly, and their six wonderful children. Throughout his illness, the family faced not only emotional challenges but also significant financial strain as they did everything possible to support James and provide for his care.”

At the time of publication, $2.75 million had been raised for the family, far surpassing the original listed goal of $1.5 million.

Williams’ Actor Awards appearance marked her first public outing since Van Der Beek’s death. She won the Actor award of Best Actress in a Limited Series for her work in FX’s Dying For Sex.

After Van Der Beek shared publicly in November 2024 that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer, Williams told Entertainment Tonight in April 2025 that she was “in contact” with Van Der Beek and was there for him “in every and all ways.”

She later organised a Dawson’s Creek reunion, which Van Der Beek was unable to attend due to a stomach virus, in an effort to raise money for F Cancer. The actress shared via an August 2025 statement, “We grew up in Capeside and that’s a bond that will last a lifetime. We wanted to gather around our dear friend James and remind him that we are all here. We always have been and we always will be. And I know the fans of Dawson’s Creek feel the same way.”
