One man was killed and another was hospitalized after a shooting that happened not far from a popular rapper's video shoot in Oakland Park Thursday night.
The shooting happened around 8 p.m. in the 3100 block of W. Oakland Park Boulevard, near the Oakland Park Flea Market and the site where rapper Sexyy Red was shooting a music video for a new song.

Footage showed about a dozen Broward Sheriff's Office cruisers at the scene, with a Chevron gas station closed off by yellow crime scene tape.
What appeared to be a body was covered by a tarp. Witnesses said they heard gunshots and said the victim was hit by the gunfire.
One nearby McDonald's employee shared her experience with NBC6 as the shots were fired.

"We were giving out food at the window and me and this lady heard [imitates gunfire] so we all duck down in the store," the employee said. "When we opened the door we see a bunch of cops and stuff heading this way, we look and we see a bunch of people leaving the flea market coming onto the parking lot and next thing you know they had tape all around here."
BSO officials said deputies were in the area responding to a disturbance call at the flea market, which was related to a music video shoot. While on-scene, deputies heard multiple gunshots coming from a nearby gas station and responded to that scene and located the two gunshot wound victims.
Officials didn't release the identities of the victims, and the condition of the victim in the hospital is still unknown.
Witnesses told investigators several subjects approached the victims prior to the shooting and that the subjects fled the scene in a dark-colored vehicle, officials said.
When deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a car matching the description, the subjects in the vehicle bailed out, officials said.
The individuals were quickly detained and arrested on unrelated charges. Their identities also weren't released.
In a statement on Instagram, Sexyy Red addressed the shooting.
"I send my condolences to the family of the man who lost his life and prayers up for the person who was wounded," the statement said. "But I gotta address the rumors that it happened at my video shoot because s*** is not true at all. To be clear it happened at a gas station across the street from my video set. Florida Highway Patrol and Broward County Sheriff confirmed that the shooting wasn't on my set."
