The brother of the famous female rapper Trina was shot and killed Tuesday morning in northwest Miami, residents said.

 While details are still scarce, reports claim there is at least one person in police custody

Miami-Dade Police said someone is in custody, but they have not released that person's name. Bain survived a shooting in 2008 and had a record of gun possession, burglary, drugs, and domestic violence involving strangulation, records showed. Neighbors told NBC 6 that Bain and the man who shot him were friends and lived around the corner from each other at Northwest 91st Street and 24th Avenue. Mutual friends said they think an ongoing fight between the two got out of hand. "It hit me hard because I just talked to him," said a neighbor who only wanted to go by "Trimel." "This killing has to stop. It has to. All of us grew up together and that's just senseless." "We need to take our black folks back," neighbor CJ James said. "All of us need to be united and come together." Trimel suggested easy access to weapons contributes to the violence. "It's a gun problem more than anything because anyone can just get a gun," the neighbor said. "I guarantee if you walk around this neighborhood now I bet you you'll get it." (NBC Miami)

That is really unfortunate, I will keep her family in my prayers... This violence has got to stop.
