Los Angeles, CA – A nightclub security guard was beaten to death by a violent mob outside his popular Hollywood workplace early Sunday morning.

The incident occurred outside the Dragonfly Hollywood nightclub located in the 6500-block of Santa Monica Boulevard near Wilcox Avenue at approximately 2 a.m. on July 30, KTLA reported.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said officers responded to the scene after receiving reports that a man was being attacked by a group of about 10 people.

Police arrived to find a severely-injured man in his 30s lying in the street, according to KTLA.

He was not breathing, KTTV reported.

Investigators said the murdered man was working as a security guard at the nightclub, which was hosting Detroit rapper Tee Grizzley that night, KTLA reported.

“The victim was working at this nightclub, and a large group – for unknown reasons – confronted that security guard, causing him to fall into the street,” LAPD West Bureau Homicide Division Detective Samuel Marullo told the news outlet.

Det. Marullo said the group then “advanced and kicked and stomped him to death.”
