Snoop Lion donates to girl's funeral after 'heartbreaking' killing

[Robb]

Long Beach rapper-turned-reggae artist Snoop Lion (formerly known as Snoop Dogg) is the latest high-profile artist to contribute money toward the funeral of a 6-year-old girl shot in Moreno Valley last weekend, his representatives told The Times.

Snoop has donated an undisclosed amount of money to Tiana Ricks' family, his representatives confirmed. In a statement, Snoop called the girl's death "heartbreaking."

"Little 6-year-old girls are not supposed to die from a gunshot. But it keeps happening," Snoop said. "From the mass shootings in Aurora and Newtown, to gang violence in the streets and murders in our own backyards, too many tears are being shed, too many young lives are being cut short. We need to come together to change this."

"Beautiful Tiana loved to play the piano — she had a whole life ahead of her which she should have been filled with love and music," Snoop added.
