Vernika Dunbar, the half-sister of reality television star Mackayla "Kash" Paige, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter after a tragic incident that led to Kash's death. The charges stem from an altercation that occurred on the morning of October 11, during which Dunbar allegedly attempted to intervene in a fight involving her sister.

According to reports from KTVU, the incident took place around 1:30 a.m. on the 200 block of 14th Street. Dunbar was reportedly trying to pistol-whip another woman who was engaged in a physical confrontation with Kash when she accidentally discharged her firearm, resulting in the fatal shooting of her sister. Emergency services were called to the scene, and Kash was transported to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

In addition to involuntary manslaughter, Dunbar faces charges of assault with a firearm and carrying a loaded firearm in public, all of which are felonies. She has also been charged with a misdemeanor count of brandishing a gun in public. Authorities confirmed that Dunbar has been in police custody since the incident.

Kash Paige, 29, was not only a reality TV personality but also a social media influencer, known for her roles in popular shows such as "Real West Coast Baddies," "Room H8z," and "Young & Reckless." Her cousin, Charles Shavies, expressed sorrow over her loss, stating in an online tribute that she 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."

The community has been left in shock following this incident, as many remember Kash for her vibrant personality and aspirations. As the legal proceedings unfold, the family and fans continue to mourn the loss of a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.
