A San Francisco clothing store, Dying Breed, was hoping to kick off its six-year anniversary with an old school block party and a classic performance from RBL Posse on Friday (June 9). The veteran rap group was excited about the show as it was also to launch its capsule line with the brand. However, those plans went bust and turned deadly around 9 p.m. local time when gun spray ruined the entire event.
