(Radio.com) Last week, a stop on the "Under the Influence of Music" tour starring Wiz Khalifa was marred by tragedy when Eric Johnson was shot and killed during a backstage incident at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif., that's still under investigation.

Fallout from the incident continues to spread with the announcement that a previously scheduled Wiz Khalifa show on the campus of Michigan State University in East Lansing, Mich., has been canceled after a "review of recent events and assessment of campus concerns."

The show was set for Sept. 13 at the Breslin Center, which hosts the MSU Spartans' basketball games, as well as a number of concerts every year. While the reasons behind the cancellation were vague in the school's official statement, according to the MSU State News, school spokesperson Jason Cody confirmed that the show was scuttled in light of the shooting incident in California.
