The opening of a new Marathon Burger — the restaurant chain founded by the late Nipsey Hussle — was marred when shots were fired at the event … TMZ has learned.

The incident took place in downtown Long Beach Sunday around 3:30 PM PT … and video is now circulating online which shows cops picking up a person and placing them in the back of a squad car.

Snoop Dogg and YG attended the event, but were gone long before the shooting began.

Nipsey’s brother — Blacc Sam — attended the opening of the new spot in downtown Long Beach … the end of a long weekend for him and his family.
