Aug 23, 2016

According to friends of the Los Angeles rapper Kid Cali, more recently known as Cali OSo, the entertainer was shot to death while at a pool party on Saturday.

Friends of Justin Lishey said that he was shot and killed while at a backyard pool party.

“We just heard gunshots, everybody instantly just ducked and everybody started running,” Dorthea DeVilla recalled.

According to authorities, Lishey and two others were shot, and the two others who were injured were listed as in stable condition, though Lishey died after having been rushed to the hospital.

Authorities said that over 100 people were at the party, which was advertised on social media. The gunman reportedly fled from the party, but a description of the suspect has not yet been released.

“He’s a great person, he has a good heart and he’s going to be missed,” DeVilla said. “He’s going to be missed, not just by me, but by everybody.”

Rapper Snoop Dogg paid tribute to Lishey on his Instagram, posting a photo with the caption, “@kidcali_oso rest well young g.”
