She was 22.

(31,997 posts)and it is horrible that a mass shooting and her shooting happened at all
i can only liken her shooting to Selena. But not even because the guy that shot her didn't even know her.

(53,339 posts)The news was posted here in GD while she was still in critical condition.
Yesterday the CBS affiliate in L.A. reported that many other artists are doing tributes to her in their concerts. And because of her murder, security was doubled at one Southern California concert featuring YouTube stars.
