Flowers was shot in the thigh and chest and died later at UPMC Presbyterian hospital. The three men fled and witnesses have yet to come forward despite a sizable crowd for a Wednesday night.

An off-duty officer was in the building, but the assailants were able to escape when Flowers collapsed in front of the officer. The movie has been pulled from the Waterfront Theater until homicide detectives complete their case.

Advertisements depicting 50 Cent holding two guns caused outrage in several U.S. cities before being released. Billboard advertisements were pulled in various cities, including Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
