Sources close to the rapper confirmed that the deceased was her 17-year-old niece, Suga, who is described as a high school student about to enter her senior year. Miami Police are currently trying to determine why she was in the area at the time of the shooting since she didn’t live there.

Fallat added that the two other victims were in their mid-20s and in stable condition.
