Tan DaGod was shot and killed at a beauty supply store while doing autographs. |
An upcoming rapper was murdered this past Saturday. Her promotion of Black businesses and also showing solidarity to a city that often targeted by gun violence and far right hate.
The mayor of Oakland, California is under federal watch and a recall initiative is happening.
Sheng Thao is facing mounting pressure to resign. The Democratic mayor who served since 2023 is under federal watch for allegations of bribery and corruption.
Thao denies all the allegations.
Again, Democrats hold their members accountable. They are calling for her, Sen. Bob Menendez (I-NJ) and even President Joe Biden to resign. Biden only because of a terrible debate performance and allegations of cognitive decline. They are scared of a Black woman being the President of the United States. That's Vice President Kamala Harris.
Anyway, Tan DaGod was shot and killed outside a beauty supply shop in Oakland.
Alliauna Green, 27 was a Bay area MC shared a video with her thousands of followers on Instagram right before her death that seemed to show her having a great time. According to reports, she was shot after getting into a verbal altercation with a separate individual who was not the shooter.
The Oakland Police Department says they are still working to identify the shooter.
Family and friends gathered outside Glamor Beauty Supply in Oakland on Sunday. Many were in tears as they paid tribute to local female rapper and entrepreneur Tan DaGod.
Tan DaGod was celebrating the opening a Black business. |
They confirmed to KRON4 that she was shot and killed at a grand opening event for the beauty store on Saturday. Tan posted on Instagram to her nearly 20,000 followers just before the shooting.
Tan also promoted the event a week before saying she would be at Glamor Beauty for a meet-and-greet. Shots rang out at the strip mall on 40th Street and Telegraph Avenue around 5 p.m. People ran into this donut shop to take cover.
A man who works there, who did not want to be identified, described the chaotic scene.
“I heard some shooting I thought it was part of their music,” he said.
Oakland police say when they arrived, paramedics found one gunshot victim who died at the hospital. Another gunshot victim arrived at a nearby hospital sometime later.
Police say that person is expected to be okay. They are still working to identify the shooter. As of Sunday evening, no arrests have been made.
A man who works at a Korean restaurant nearby witnessed the shooting.
Bay area rapper and philanthropist Mistah F.A.B. posted about the shooting saying he was booked to be at the same event but “God had different plans.”
He also posted saying he would always remember Tan as a hustling go-getter with a world of ambition, drive and courage.
The U.S. Congress is by far the most laziest in modern history. They are willing to take away freedoms when it comes to using phones, protesting, driving, women's rights, voting rights and social media. When it comes to an actual threat to safety, say firearms, they refuse to pass even meaningful legislation to curb it.
Some are claiming that her mocking the death of an ex-boyfriend led to the shooting. |
So in closing, expect more.

Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. Let them know you are very tired of your lawmakers embarrassing themselves in the media. You are tired of your lawmakers always being outside their district or state. You elected them to serve their districts and state, not travel across the country or to foreign countries on your taxpayer dollars. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-semitic or in support of terrorism. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and lawmakers avoid influence from lobbyists.
