Parents and staff also shared tributes online.<\/p>\n

“This beautiful soul shaped and pushed both my kids to be the best they can be. She will leave behind a huge hole that is next to impossible to fill,” one parent wrote” one parent wrote.<\/p>\n

“She was love. She was heart. She was soul. She was selfless. I am numb and heartbroken,” another person said online.<\/p>\n

Video posted to Facebook by Bay Area Bound<\/a> shows crowds of people running out of the club and into the streets with sirens going off in the background.<\/p>\n

Surveillance video from inside EZ\u2019s Lounge, posted online by West Coast Gang Wars<\/a>, appears to show a man approach another man and shove him. Seconds later, shots are fired.<\/p>\n

The man who appeared to initiate the contact falls to the ground, pulls out a gun and fires multiple rounds before sliding toward a nearby doorway.<\/p>\n

Authorities have not confirmed whether Martin is one of the men seen in the surveillance video.<\/p>\n

What sources say <\/p>\n

What they’re saying:<\/p>\n

KTVU learned from sources that the violence began after Martin, who was a convicted felon, and another unnamed man got into a dispute at the bar. Sources said the other man opened fire first, prompting Martin to draw his own gun and fire back.<\/p>\n

Sources said Martin was shot and, as he fell, fired multiple rounds that struck Bobo and wounded others.<\/p>\n

Oakland Police Officers Association President Sgt. Huy Nguyen said the shooting reflects ongoing violence in the city\u2019s downtown.<\/p>\n

“Again, we continue to go down this path, seeing the violence that takes place downtown,” Nguyen said.<\/p>\n

Oakland City Councilmember Carroll Fife said the shooting happened during a private event at the club.<\/p>\n

“It just goes to show that far too many people have easy access to these deadly weapons,” Fife said.<\/p>\n

Police have not released information about arrests.<\/p>\n
