Reality television personality Mackayla Paige, known to viewers as “Kash”, was shot dead in downtown Oakland early on Sunday, 11 October, with police arresting a woman from Richmond in connection with her death.
Officers were called to the 200 block of 14th Street shortly after 1.30am, where they found the 29-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound. Attempts were made to save her before she was taken to hospital, where she later died, according to the Oakland Police Department.
Police said the suspect, whose name has not been released, is also from Richmond. Investigators have not disclosed what led to the shooting, whether the two women knew each other or what charges the arrested woman may face.
Paige was identified by Now That’s TV, the streaming network associated with the digital reality series Real West Coast Baddies. She had built a following under the name Kash, while family and friends have been mourning her death.
Oakland police have appealed for witnesses or anyone with photographs or video of the incident to contact the department’s homicide section on 510-238-3821 or its tip line on 510-238-7950. Information can also be emailed to cidvideos@oaklandca.gov.
