As we told you, Scott Ruffalo, brother of actor Mark Ruffalo, was shot in the head December 1 inside his Beverly Hills condo. He has, sadly, died from his wounds.

Ruffalo passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles late Monday night.

Suspect Shaha Mishaal Adham, 26, turned herself in to police on Monday and she is currently being held without bail. The attemped murder charge will likely be changed to murder.

Brian Burton Scofield, 29, who is a friend of Adham's is also considered a "person of interest." He's been booked with misdemeanor traffic violations.

Scott Ruffalo was born in Kenosha, Wis., and later moved to San Diego with his family. He was reportedly living alone in Beverly Hills at the time of the shooting, but was married to Luzelena Ruffalo and has a stepdaughter, Lucinda.

Mark Ruffalo has made no comment about the shooting.

Our hearts go out to the family during this difficult time. Losing a family member in such a violent way is tragic and during the holiday season makes it that much more heartbreaking.

At 3:30 a.m. this morning, shots were fired at a party at Dreamz ATL, which was sponsored by Jermaine Dupri. Usher, Nelly and Sean "Diddy" Coombs were in attendance. A security guard was wounded.

"I'm sad this incident happened because it interrupted a beautiful and loving party. But I'm happy none of my people or friends got hurt. And the party continues," Dupri said in a statement.

"I didn't hear the shots, but around 3:30 a.m., everybody started ducking," a party guest reported. "Nobody really knew what happened. It was dark in the club. And everyone was trying to get out of the VIP area, but there were so many people no one could really move."

An announcement was made that the sound wasn't shots but a bottle popping or a speaker problem, "But people, including the celebs, were still trying to leave, so I don't think anyone believed them," he says. "I got outside, and the cops shut the club down. No one inside could leave and no one outside in the parking lot could leave either. One of my friends was stuck inside the club and people were scared that the shooter was still inside."

Yikes!
