Chalice Recording Studios shooting. On or about September 12th, 2022, Mr. Combmes held a writers and producers camp at Chalice Recording Studio at 845 Highland Avenue, Los Angeles, California. Present at this camp were Mr. Combmes, his son Justin Combmes, and Justin's friend named G. Mr. G is a 30-year-old tall African-Amean male. In addition to these individuals, other musicians were present at the camp. This writer has spoken to several musicians who attended the camp. One evening during this camp, Mr. Combmes, Jay Combmes, and G were in a heated conversation. Their conversation was moved out of the studio and into a restroom adjacent to where Mr. Jones was sitting. Mr. Jones was approximately 2 ft away from the bathroom when gunshots rang out. Mr. Jones recalls hearing multiple gunshots. Mr. Jones immediately went into a state of shock and feared that he would be shot next. Mr. Jones genuinely believed that he would be shot through the door due to how close he was. After the shooting ended, a crowd gathered around the restroom. When the door finally opened, Mr. Combmes and Jay Combmes exited. G was lying on the restroom floor in a fetal position, holding his stomach and bleeding out of his leg, hip area. Everyone stood around looking upon G. Frustrated by the lack of aid to G, Mr. Jones dropped everything, ran to G, and immediately began placing pressure on G's gunshot wound to his stomach. As he was applying pressure on his stomach, Mr. Jones realized that G was gushing blood from another area near his leg hip. He decided to lift G and place him to sit on the toilet. Mr. Jones asked the crowd to call the ambulance. Mr. Jones lifted G and brought him to the ambulance at the studio's front. At this time, Mr. Combmes and Justin disappeared to another part of the studio. Mr. Combmes gave strict instructions to inform the police that he had nothing to do with the shooting. He also forced Mr. Jones to lie to the police by telling them that G was shot standing outside the studio by a driveby asalent. Mr. Jones has several corroborating witnesses who spoke with this writer anonymously due to fear of retaliation from Mr. Combmes. They have agreed to speak publicly when subpoenaed. Mr. Jones has the clothing he wore that day and believes it may still have the stains and DNA of G's blood. The following are screenshots of the aftermath of the restroom where G was shot by either Mr. Combmes or Jay Combmes. Clearly, G was not shot outside of the studios as Mr. Combmes instructed his team to report to law enforcement. Mr. Combmes and defendants LR, MR, UMG, and CRS provided private security for the writer's camp at defendant CRS. The security was porous and lackluster at best. The fact that either Mr. Combmes and Jay Combmes were allowed to enter CRS with guns and those guns were not confiscated by security is a clear breach of duty by Mr. Combmes, defendants LR, Mr. and UMG to protect Mr. Jones and the other attendees of this writer's camp. As a result of this shooting, Mr. Jones is severely traumatized. Mr. Jones now suffers from PTSD, severe anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The following is an image of Mr. Combmes a couple of hours before G is shot in the restroom of defendant CRS. Defendant Chalice Recording Studios and defendants Sha Combmes and Justin Combmes representative Shaun Holly provide conflicting and intellectually dishonest accounts concerning the shooting. On or about February 28th, 2024, defendant CRS sent an Instagram message which alleges that G was shot a half a block away from Chalice. Upon information and belief, Shawn Holly claimed that she had evidence the shooting took place several blocks away and that G returned to the studio after being shot. Upon information and belief, TMZ reports that their law enforcement sources claimed that the story that was told to cops that night, namely that the victim was robbed at gunpoint and shot by unknown asalants outside. The gunshot victim G stepped outside of the studio around 3:30 a.m. and was accosted by two individuals, at which point they tried to rob him. The man suffered a gunshot wound. Below is an image of the front of Chalice Recording Studios. In the photo above, there's a security gate that is being blocked by the white van. Upon information and belief to enter the building, you must buzz the gate and announce which session you are there to attend. Once the correct session is confirmed, you then must go past another layer of security before you can enter the reception area. Once inside the reception area, you must identify yourself and the receptionist will check to ensure that you are on the list of visitors for that session. Once you are confirmed, you are then allowed in. To get to the restroom where G was bleeding out, you would have to follow a maze. Once you've passed the receptionist, you must walk down a long hallway, walk past three recording studios, turn left, and go past a lounge area before you arrive at the restroom where G was bleeding out. TMZ also reported that Mr. Combmes and JC Combmes were not present in the studio when the police arrived. That is also factually inaccurate. Mr. Combmes and J Combmes were both located in Studio G across the parking lot from the building where G was shot near Studio A. Mr. Combmes and J Combmes hid out in recording studio G while the police investigated and were the first to depart after the officers left. After being shot in the stomach and hip leg, G was physically incapable of walking. Therefore, the notion that he was shot several blocks away, Shan Holly, half a block away, CRS, or as he stepped outside of the studio is implausible. If G could do as much walking as Shan Holly and CRS claims, then Mr. Jones would not have been required to physically pick him up off the restroom floor and walk him through the maze, that is CRS, for him to receive care from the ambulance. As of the date of this filing, neither the Los Angeles Police Department nor the Los Angeles Fire Department have released any official reports surrounding this shooting. There has been no body cam footage and no 911 call recording. What is even more disturbing is that there has been no sighting of G. The LAPD has only released a vaguely written news release dated September 12th, 2022. the unfortunate shooting of G, the unexplained disappearance of G, the lack of disclosures by the LAPD and LAFD, and the incoherent nature of Shan Holly and Chalice Recording Studios account of the shooting raises more questions than answers points to foul play and a massive cover up. The deafening silence from the attendees of the CRS shooting stems from understandable fear that the attendees would be sued by Mr. Combmes for violating a non-disclosure agreement. A few days prior to the September 12th, 2022 shooting inside of Chalice Recording Studio, Mr. Combmes required all attendees of the CRS shooting to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Mr. Jones did not sign the agreement. A copy of the non-disclosure agreement that a witness who has asked to remain anonymous provided this writer is attached. That concludes part one of the lawsuit read through. The next part continues with the next alleged events.
