A woman has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of 29-year-old reality television personality and influencer Mackayla Paige, popularly known as Kash, in downtown Oakland, California.
According to US media reports, the shooting occurred in the early hours of Sunday, when police officers were dispatched to the 200 block of 14th Street at around 1:30am following reports of gunfire.
Officers found Paige with a gunshot wound and rushed her to a local hospital, where she later died.
Hours before the shooting, Paige had shared updates from her night out on Instagram Stories.
Footage of the confrontation that preceded the shooting, seen by TNX Africa, shows Paige apparently fighting with another woman before a friend intervenes while holding a gun.
The confrontation continues briefly before the women are seen running away, leaving Paige bleeding on the sidewalk.
Bystanders filmed the aftermath, including moments when Paige appeared to be taking her final breaths. The footage has drawn criticism online, with some viewers questioning why people continued recording instead of helping her.
Police subsequently arrested a female suspect in Richmond, California. Authorities have not publicly disclosed her identity or a possible motive for the shooting.
The Oakland Police Department’s Homicide Section is investigating the incident.
Paige was known for her appearances on reality television programmes including Real West Coast Baddies, RoomH8z and Young & Reckless.
Following her death, friends and family gathered near the scene of the shooting to create a memorial in her honour, paying tribute to her life and career ambitions.
