Det. Steve Castro told us that the altercation started inside the Black Derby Smoke Shop and that Trigz was shot just outside that business at 6334 Laurel Canyon Blvd.
Strangely, the detective said, after an argument started and fighting erupted, "the dispute discontinued" briefly outside before Trigz was shot.
A tattoo shop two doors down was not the location of any of the violence, Castro said, but Trigz did appear to work there regularly.
L.A. County Department of Coroner Assistant Chief Ed Winter confirmed that the victim was 40-year-old Michael Christopher Pebley (a.k.a. Trigz) of Tujunga, who was pronounced dead at the scene at 6 p.m. yesterday.
The precise cause of death had yet to be determined because an autopsy was still pending, he said.
Castro said detectives were looking into some leads but that no suspects had been identified yet. He did not want to say whether or not police believe Trigz was a gang member.
The family of the artist, who said he had worked with Chris Brown, Mobb Deep and Travis Barker, were raising money for funeral costs via GoFundMe.com.
Trigz left behind five children.
