Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion is the latest to donate to 6 year old Tiana Ricks’ funeral. The poor girl was shot to death last weekend in Moreno Valley, California when two men walked to her and her father, approached them and opened fire.

According to a href=http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-snoop-lion-dogg-tiana-ricks-20130912,0,6204045.story/>LaTimes Snoop has donated an undisclosed amount to Tiana’s family for the funeral.
The rapper felt the death was “heartbreaking.” In a statement released Snoop said “Little 6-year old girls are not supposed to die from a gunshot. But it keeps happening. 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.”
When speaking more on Tiana, he adds “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.”
An investigation is going down regarding the case, which may be involve gang violence. However, Tiana’s father has no involvement with gang activity.
