The celebration in downtown Los Angeles got out of hand Sunday night after the hometown Rams won Super Bowl LVI – with police ordering a crowd of partiers to disperse around 9 p.m. local time, according to a report.

Several off-ramps of Interstate 110 were closed in the downtown area, causing some traffic congestion, the Los Angeles Police Department wrote on Twitter, citing information from the California Highway Patrol. LAPD also declared an unlawful assembly after the crowds turned violent and resisted the orders to disperse.

“We are seeing violent and destructive behavior by large crowds in the heart of the Downtown LA area. We have issued several dispersal orders and have a large police presence,” the LAPD said in a statement.

Violent weekend

Sunday’s shooting took place one day after four people were injured in a shooting incident outside The Nice Guy, an Italian restaurant in West Los Angeles, where Justin Bieber was hosting a party with celebrity guests following his concert.

A 19-year-old male and a 60-year-old male were shot and hospitalized in stable condition, while another victim was shot and drove to the hospital, officials said. A 24-year-old male, later identified as rapper Kodak Black, whose real name is Bill Kapri, was also shot and was posing with fans outside the restaurant when the shooting erupted.
