The plot has thickened in the investigation of the murder that occurred at Wiz Khalifa's Under The Influence Tour stop at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California, around 11 p.m. on Friday night, August 22nd. A 38-year-old Oakland resident by the name of Eric Johnson was shot multiple times backstage by an unidentified assailant and later died at a local hospital. Johnson, who worked as a concert promoter, was shot by a man believed to be in his 20s and standing around 5'6 - 5'8 tall, according to Mountain View police representative Shino Tanaka.
Mr. Johnson's murder spurred police to cancel Wiz's next show in Chula Vista the following day, August 23rd, in order to properly investigate the tragic incident. As part of the investigation, Jeezy's tour bus was stopped and searched at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater Irvine in Irvine, CA, at his Under The Influence Tour stop on August 24th. Jeezy was never allowed to step on stage, nor was he allowed to leave the tour bus at all. He and other members of his entourage were eventually brought in for questioning by police regarding Mr. Johnson's death, for Johnson was believed to be promoting Jeezy's afterparty in Mountain View, CA, on the day that he was killed.
No charges have been filed agaisnt Jeezy thus far.
