Rappers The Game, Snoop Dogg help fund MORENO VALLEY slain girl’s funeral

Snoop Lion(Snoop Dogg) just announced he's also giving money to help cover the funeral costs for a 6-year-old girl who was fatally shot last weekend in California.

Rapper The Game has already donated $10,000 to help pay the funeral bills for 6-year-old Tiana Ricks who was shot and killed when two men approached her family's Moreno Valley home and opened fire but sadly, Tiana's mom said the money wasn't enough to cover all the bills.

Snoop's rep wouldn't say exactly how much he donated, but sources close to Tiana's family tell TMZ the amount was $2,000.

Snoop has released a statement about the shooting, saying, "Little 6-year-old girls are not supposed to die from a gunshot. But it keeps happening, Too many tears are being shed, too many young lives are being cut short. We need to come together to change this."

Snoop added, "Beautiful Tiana loved to play the piano  she had a whole life ahead of her which she should have been filled with love and music."
                                                  

Others donated $5,427 through GiveForward.com to help defray the costs of burial and sending the girl’s body back home to Long Beach. Tiana's funeral is set for Saturday.

Suspected gang members opened fire outside a home on the 25000 block of Harker Lane around 9:38 p.m.

Tiana Ricks was killed by gunfire, and her father, Tyrell, was injured. The two had just arrived for a family get-together.

"While one acted like he was going to talk to them, the other one behind him pulled out a weapon and started to shoot directly into the garage," said Leshawn Cook, Tyrell's cousin.

Bullets hit a car in the driveway. Cook's three daughters were also in the garage; one of them was holding Tyrell's baby boy. They were not injured.

The party was supposed to be a send-off for Cook's daughter, who is about to begin her freshman year at the University of Indiana.

"Who does something like that?" said Cook. "Fifteen children, there were just as many babies here as there were adults."

Tiana lived in Long Beach with her mother. Her father moved from Indianapolis to Victorville just one week ago.

"We're at a loss for words at this time, so we're just trying to connect ourselves and get all our family together and try to move on and do what we can," said Damon Cook, the victim's cousin.

Neighbors are saddened by the senseless violence. They lit candles to show support for the family and to honor the little girl with a big smile.

"She was a beautiful little girl," said Damon Cook. "If you look at the pictures, you can tell she was a happy, beautiful little girl."

Tiana's father, Tyrell, was transported to an area hospital. He was last listed in stable condition.

Family members say in addition to his daughter's murder, Tyrell has also been grieving the death of the mother of his 1-year-old son. She was killed in a car accident in Indiana back in April.

Police are still on the hunt for the killers.
