Law enforcement reports indicate that a brawl erupted during the event, resulting in several gunshots being discharged. Observers noted that attendees began to flee in panic, but Amari was hit by an errant bullet amidst the turmoil.

At around 12:26 a.m., first responders arrived at the location. Paramedics discovered Amari with a critical gunshot injury. He was swiftly transported to a local hospital by ambulance; however, despite attempts to save him, he was later confirmed deceased.
