Mally Mall wrote: “This isn’t right… you always loved protected and stood up for anyone and everyone … I’m beyond heartbroken this world is becoming overbearing.”
Lo was also reportedly a close friend of Ray J. The incident caps off what was a busy weekend in South Beach which hosted the F1 2023 Miami Grand Prix on Sunday.
Chris Breezy posted a tribute to his Instagram Story Monday after hearing the gut-wrenching news: “Love you bro. Rest up MY BROTHER.”
The Gala nightclub added: “We are shocked and deeply saddened by the isolated and targeted incident that occurred last night at our upscale establishment.”
Young Lo relocated from California to Miami and he leaves behind a six-year-old son. No arrests have been made in the case as of press time.
A GoFundMe has been launched in support of Lo to help cover his funeral expenses.

The footwear’s exact release date is unknown, because the singer mentioned May without a date — however, they are likely to be released in the near future.
