Please join us in sending our deepest prayers to comedian and radio host #RickeySmiley as reports have recently surfaced of his daughter Aaryn Smiley being shot three times !
According to Bossip, Rickey took to his morning show on Monday to reveal the tragic news while holding back tears. He states that he was recently informed that Aaryn, 19 was shot three times in Houston, #Texas while waiting for food at a local Whataburger.
“My youngest daughter was shot last night. Aaryn, she in the hospital right now. That’s why I can’t have focus,” Rickey states. ”I’m just so angry right now.”
He goes on to state that his daughter is currently within a Houston hospital awaiting surgery. Rickey is awaiting information on available flights to due to the impact COVID-19 has had upon overbooking. He notes that he’s going to drive from Dallas to Houston immediately after his flight.
Rickey also shares his frustration with the Black community and the issue of gun violence.
“This is no discredit to Black Lives Matters because I believe that, and I am with that movement but there are some criminals in our community that we need to do something about. The two 8-year-old kids [killed] in Atlanta, the 8-year-old boy in Birmingham…I get the luxury of going to hospital, but just think about all the parents that got to go pick out a casket this morning!”
