Overview
- Plaintiffs Mark Schaefer and Adam Rahman voluntarily withdrew their civil claims, and multiple outlets report the dismissal blocks any refiling.
- The case stemmed from a Feb. 12, 2022 shooting outside The Nice Guy in Los Angeles during a Justin Bieber–hosted Super Bowl after-party.
- Schaefer and Rahman alleged Kodak Black escalated an altercation that preceded the gunfire; the rapper was also wounded in the leg.
- Justin Bieber, initially named in the complaint, was dismissed months after the suit was filed, and earlier efforts to seek $62 million and later $10.6 million failed.
- Gloria Allred’s firm represented the plaintiffs and has not responded to requests for comment on the withdrawal.
