🤦🏾♂️ My heart goes out to Trina she lost her ex boyfriend, her brother and now her niece to senseless killing. I understand why she felt the way she felt about some of the black community because she has been personally affected by senseless violence like this more than once. https://t.co/E2UEkz45wt

Love & Hip Hop Miami cast member and cousin to both Trina and Chester, Bobbi Lytes, also expressed his devastation over losing the teen’s death to gun violence.
Lytes wrote, “Heaven couldn’t wait for you. I’m so sorry, my baby cousin. You were always suppose to be the most protected. You were always the princess. Everyone who knows you knows how talented you are. You were the next big thing when it came to rap. You were going to take over the world. I’m so sorry this happened; I’m so so sorry!”
“I can’t stop crying, and I’m angry. You had your whole life ahead of you. I’m going to hold on to the memories we created, the time we did spend together. I’m going to always remember Big Suga,” he continued. “Even as I write this, I’m at a lost for words. I don’t know what more to say, except we are all going to miss you, but your energy I can still feel! Fly high and find any way you can each day to show us you are still with us, ❤️ until meet again 🙏🏽”
