Police sources said Tingle is affiliated with the Team Bang Out street gang. Witnesses told police that before he was shot, Tingle argued with another man at the party.

A few days after his death, Lil' Kim memorialized him on social media.

“It breaks my heart to have to send out this special RIP to my little cousin Aggy who was shot and killed,” she wrote in a March 28 Facebook post. “At times you were so quiet but as soon as you started speaking everyone in the room knew that you were a real riot.”
