Witnesses recalled hearing 10-15 gunshots.
Witness Ced Mogul told WSVN he came out to watch the rapper shoot the video, when at some point a person in the crowd watching the production was robbed of his watch and wallet, which caused the situation to escalate.
Mogul said, "It was like at least 13, 14, 15 gunshots. It was very rapid, it sounded like an assault rifle. I took off running."
Police have not provided information on a possible suspect or suspects.
