Two people, including 31-year-old Tampa rapper Nina Ross Da Boss, are dead after a shooting on North Tangerine Place near East Yukon Street. Tampa Police said that the shooting happened just before 11 p.m. on Tuesday night.

WFLA wrote that details are limited, but Nina Ross Da Boss (real name Jimmiel Spillman-Ingram) is also the mother of six children, including a 2-month-old.

Her mixtape, The Only Shit Poppin’, has been heard more than 1,700 times on Datpiff.com, and a video for “Chiraq” has nearly 30,000 views.

Spillman-Ingram was also a member of the Exciting Faith Alive Church in Tampa, and her pastor, Antonio Hawkins, told WFLA that his last encounter with her was just a few months ago, when she came to church.

Spillman-Ingram's car was found crashed into a nearby home and caused some minor damage, according to reports, but police are still looking for information on what happened. Anyone with information is asked to call the investigators at (813) 231-6130.
