During a shootout, Blake, who was not the intended target, and one of the gunmen, Nathan Hannon, were killed.

Surveillance video released to Channel 2′s Sophia Choi after the shooting shows several men walk into the studio with guns.

One of the men was carrying a computer. Police believe the group may have been entering the studio under the guise of being an artist.

Blake’s family told Choi that they recognized one of the men in the video as someone they had seen hanging out with Blake on several occassions.
