FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — An investigation remains ongoing after social media influencer with a large following was killed.
Authorities say 21-year-old Maurice Harrison, aka Girlalala, was shot and killed on Friday inside a car by her boyfriend, 25-year-old Shanoyd Whyte Jr., during an argument.
It happened Friday shortly before 7 p.m. in the area of the 3300 block of Northwest 37th Street in Lauderdale Lakes.
Investigators said Whyte and Harrison had been in a relationship for several years.
Harrison had hundreds of thousands of followers on TikTok. Her family was too upset to do an interview, but told Local 10 News:
“As a family we appreciate every prayer, kind thought, and gesture during our time of bereavement. Now, we are just praying that justice is served to the fullest degree.”
It’s a family that has had to deal with gun violence before.
Just over a years ago, Harrison’s brother was also fatally shot.
