Miami rapper Trina suffered a devastating loss on Tuesday. Her younger brother, Wilbert "Gonk" Bain, died after he was shot and killed in their hometown of Miami on April 23.

Miami's NBC 6 News reported on Tuesday that the alleged suspect, 27-year-old Ron Dobson, shot Bain after the pair had an argument in the northwest section of Miami at 9:35 am on April 23. According to the news report, Bain was riding his bicycle and argued with Dobson. When he got off of it, Dobson pulled out handgun from his pants' waistband and shot him several times.

Dobson was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and is currently being held without a bond as of Wednesday morning.

The news was a shock to many because Bain and Dobson were friends who lived around the corner from each other.

A friend of the Miami rapper told Media Takeout that Bain had a "few run- ins" with the law in his past but he was not "violent" or involved in any criminal activity."

"He was a law abiding, good, Christian man, and a father of 2," said the family friend.

"I'm hurt because this man is gone for no reason at all," Bain's neighbor, Demetrius Hammond, told NBC 6. "He was a close friend to me."

"He's a very good kid," added family friend the Rev. Gary Johnson. "It's unfortunate. It's a terrible."

Bain was shot before in 2008 and survived. He had been arrested several times and had a rap sheet that listed several offenses including gun possession, drug possession, burglary and domestic violence.

Trina's management reportedly issued a statement about her loss on her Myspace page before her brother died: "I have some very sad news to post. Over the weekend, Trina's little brother was shot in Miami, FL. Wilbrent Bain Jr. is also known to friends as Goonkie and is 19 years old. He is currently in critical condition at a local Miami, FL hospital. Please keep him in your prayers and send your blessings to Trina and her family! Feel free to post comments as I will be forwarding them to Trina herself."
