Reality star Kash’s half-sister charged with accidentally causing her death

The half-sister of reality TV personality Kash has been charged with accidentally causing her death. 

Vernika Dunbar, of Richmond, was charged with involuntary manslaughter, assault with a firearm, and carrying a loaded firearm in public, all felonies.

According to KTVU, police identified Dunbar as the woman who took the life of Mackayla “Kash” Paige, 29, who was attempting to fight another woman on the 200 block of 14th Street on Sunday morning, October 11.

It was gathered that Dunbar was trying to pistol-whip the woman who was fighting with her sister, but instead fired the shot that took her sister's life. 

Officers responded to the shooting at around 1:30 a.m. Paige was taken to the hospital, where she was declared lifeless.

Dunbar has been in police custody since the shooting and remains there, authorities said. She has also been charged with a misdemeanor count of brandishing a gun in public, records show.

Charles Shavies, a cousin, said in an online tribute that it was known Paige “was more than a reality TV star and social media influencer — she was a beautiful young woman with big dreams, a bold personality, and a determination to make her mark on the world.”

Paige is known for her appearances on shows like, "Real West Coast Baddies," "Room H8z" and Young & Reckless."
