“Flavor of Love” star Deelishis is mourning the loss of her niece, Arielle Diamond, after the student was among three found dead in a tragic mass shooting at Michigan State University Monday night.
The reality star — whose real name is Chandra Davis — first took to social media on Monday to ask the public’s help in finding her niece, whom she said was missing during the shooting.

Three students were killed and five others critically injured after a gunman, identified by authorities as 43-year-old Anthony Dwayne McRae, opened fire in two separate buildings on the campus of Michigan State University.
According to police, McRae was found dead of a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound and they don’t know his motive.
“We have absolutely no idea what the motive was at this point,” MSU Police Interim Deputy Chief Chris Rozman said early Tuesday, adding that the gunman “had no affiliation to the university — he was not a student, faculty or staff, current or previous.”
Rozman added, “I know everybody wants to know what the motive is. We don’t have an answer right now, that’s the honest truth.”
