A popular hip-hop festival in Sacramento descended into chaos after a man was killed in a fight over some spilled sauce and several others were injured in an unrelated fire at a food tent.
Fire crews were first called to the sold-out concert in Discovery Park at around 2.30pm after a deep fryer ignited a propane tank and sparked a blaze in one of the food tents.
The fire triggered a stampede as concert-goers raced to escape and firefighters battling the flames had to turn their attention to treating the injured.

Firefighters were called first to deal with the fire and hours later, returned to transport the 31-year-old victim of an assault to hospital, where he later died of his injuries
Several patients were taken to hospital with burn injuries and several others were injured after getting caught up in the stampede of panicked people rushing to get away from the fire, CBS Sacramento reports.
After the blaze was controlled, the KSFM event, which featured rap and hip-hop acts including Tyga, Fat Joe and Remy Ma, Kehlani, Ty Dolla Sign and Nef the Pharoah, went on.
But as the concert was coming to an end, firefighters were called once again after a man was seriously injured in a fight.
The brawl began after barbecue sauce was spilled on someone's shoes, witnesses told Fox40. The victim reportedly hit his head on the ground after being punched.
Fire personnel quickly located the unresponsive victim and took him to hospital, a Sacramento police spokesman said, where he later died.
