Who was arrested in relation to Kash’s death?
According to the Oakland Police Department, an adult woman from Richmond, California, was taken into custody for fatally shooting Kash.

While the investigators are gathering more evidence, there is still confusion regarding how the firing took place. Still, the arrest is a development in the investigation. Meanwhile, her fans are waiting for more details to know exactly what happened or who was responsible for the fatal gunshot.
For those who don’t know, the police reportedly got calls about the gunfire at around 1:30 a.m. on October 11, 2026. In turn, they responded to the 200 block of 14th Street in downtown Oakland, near the Cave Lounge. When cops arrived at the scene, they saw that Kash was suffering from a gunshot wound. The team of first responders immediately got down to give emergency assistance. Soon, she was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Incidentally, the shooting took place only a few hours after Kash had shared some videos on her Instagram Stories. In the clip, she showed herself enjoying an evening out.
