The gunshots erupted outside The Nice Guy restaurant, injuring four men, ages 60, 22, 20 and 19, said Lizeth Lomeli of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). Their names were not released, but NBC News reported that rapper Kodak Black was among those injured.

Officers responding to the scene found two victims. Paramedics took them to hospital but their lives are not in danger, police said in an updated statement Saturday afternoon.

Two other victims went to the hospital alone, the statement said. All four victims were listed in stable condition.

Detectives have called for witnesses to come forward to help them identify the shooter.

Videos posted to TMZ.com and social media show Kodak Black posing for photos with a group of people outside the restaurant when the fight broke out. Kodak Black was among several involved in the scuffle when shots rang out, forcing everyone at the scene to take cover.

Law enforcement sources told NBC News that Kodak Black, whose legal name is Bill Kapri, was among those who were shot. Asked, his publicist at Atlantic Records has not yet responded.

The party followed Justin Bieber’s private concert at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood, Calif., as part of a Super Bowl week bash dubbed “Homecoming Weekend.” Guests at the star-studded event included Jeff Bezos, his TV host girlfriend Lauren Sánchez, actor Anthony Ramos and NFL Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez.

the HollywoodReporter reports that Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey Baldwin, Drake, Khloe Kardashian and Tobey Maguire were also among the celebrities seen entering the afterparty.
