The free family event was intended to celebrate the rap work of Frazier Thompson III, better known as Trae, who has worked with local at-risk youth. In addition to live performances, the event featured train rides, pony rides, face painting and moonwalks. University spokeswoman Eva Pickens told the Chronicle that university officials had been told that the shootings were gang- related.
