Our deepest condolences go out to all of Angie’s family and friends.”
Kukawaki worked with people like the Kardashian-Jenners, Kanye West, Offset, Tupac Shakur's estate, and Nicki Minaj. The latter penned a note about the shocking loss on her Instagram Story.
"Hardest working, most reliable, sweetest person you could ever know," wrote Minaj. "You didn't serve this, Angela. My heart is breaking for your children. Rest In Peace. [praying hands emoji]." Kukawski reportedly leaves behind five kids. Barker has been charged with "one count of premeditated murder and one count of torture," reports Variety.
The outlet added that “sharp and blunt force injuries of the head and neck, as well as strangulation.” A firearm and knife were allegedly used in the attack. We send our sincerest condolences to Angela Kukawski's loved ones.
