Gucci Mane and his 1017 Records artist Foogiano have reportedly been named in a wrongful death lawsuit following a shooting that took place at Foogiano's concert on July 5th at Lavish Lounge. The shooting claimed the lives of Mykala Bell and Clarence Johnson and injured eight more people.

Additional defendants include Lavish Lounge, Rommie Khalil, and Jarquez Kezavion Cooper. All of the defendants are accused of "failing to provide adequate security on the premises, knowingly subjecting invitees of the premises to an unreasonable risk of serious physical harm, failing to exercise reasonable care to provide a safe environment for the invitees of the premises, failing to provide proper and adequate surveillance of the premises."

The lawsuit claims security did not conduct searches on a number of attendees, allowing "dangerous persons" to enter the club with "deadly weapons." While Gucci Mane did not perform at the event, he is referred to as a promoter for the concert.
