“Our security at our club checked what was happening as everyone was screaming, people inside the club were running, women were screaming, scared," said a witness. "We helped them get inside our club so they could calm down, but we weren’t able to hear the shots because of the street noise, but it was really bad, really."
A spokesperson for the nightclub said in a statement that they're cooperating with the investigation.
"We are shocked and deeply saddened by the isolated and targeted incident that occurred last night at our upscale establishment. Our condolences are with the family and friends of the victim during this time," the statement said. "We are fully committed to providing assistance and cooperating with the Miami Beach PD as they conduct their ongoing investigation."
Police have not released any additional information about the events that led to the shooting incident, including whether any arrests have been made.
Friends of Grissom said they think he may have been targeted.
Friend and fellow rapper Chris Brown posted a message on Instagram for Grissom Sunday that said "rest up my brother."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
