Her family disputed the police account of her death, saying Beaty would know better than threaten police.

“She’s very smart, very intelligent. I don’t believe she was brandishing a weapon,” her sister, Kendra Beaty, told the Virginian-Pilot.

“Her automatic reaction would have been to drop and say, ‘It’s not real.’ She would not have gone to jail over a toy gun.”

Beaty’s family said she was an aspiring rapper who went by “Lbeezygotti.”

Death by cop is my verdict here. Also blame drugs and rap music. Her mind was in the twilight zone.

I have noticed that the hip-hop and rap industries seem to lose a lot of potential hit-makers. Perhaps parents should try to steer their kiddies into a safer line of work like working the night shift at the convenience store on MLK Blvd.

I think it is more related to her being a lesbian than Gotti. Her FB page says she was in a relationship with a woman.
