Actor Adam DeVine claimed Wednesday that he witnessed a man being shot to death outside of his mansion in Hollywood.

DeVine, 39, made the claim during a live taping of his podcast, “This Is Important,” which has yet to be released publicly online, according to the New York Post. A “crazy poker game” was taking place across the street from his house on the night of the alleged murder, the “Pitch Perfect” actor told co-hosts Blake Anderson, Anders Holm and Kyle Newacheck.

“People were rolling up in like Lamborghini’s and Bentley’s and Rolls Royce’s and shit and like old guys, who for sure fuck prostitutes and play cards,” DeVine said, setting the scene. “And I see these dudes and it’s like fun to sit and watch, [so] me and my wife, we’re sitting up on our balcony, and like, this looks crazy.”

Things then apparently took a turn for the worse, when a man later identified as 39-year-old Emil Lahaziel was allegedly shot multiple times outside the purported poker game at 2 a.m. “Someone was murdered there,” DeVine continued, to the shock of his co-hosts, according to the NY Post.

DeVine said he “called” the alleged incident before it happened. “Yeah dude, I called that shit I called that shit. I was like ‘This is dastardly shit going down here and sure enough someone is gunned down.” (RELATED: ‘Happy Days’ Star Scott Baio Bails On Los Angeles Over Crime, Homeless Crisis)

The murder occurred at around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning, according to the Los Angeles Times. The victim was talking to another man, who shot him multiple times with a handgun, the outlet reported. The suspect then allegedly drove away. Law enforcement has not released any information on the vehicle or the identity of the suspect, who remains at large as of Thursday morning.

“Yeah but, that happens, people be dying,” DeVine added, according to the NY Post. “This isn’t Hollywood, this is a story about my actual life.”

Police closed the Hollywood Hills street following the shooting, KCAL news reported. The investigation is ongoing.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
