Stephanie Moseley, the star of VH1’s Hit the Floor, was discovered dead today after what appeared to be a murder-suicide involving Earl Hayes, her rapper boyfriend.
According to reports, a SWAT team rushed to La Palazzo apartment building in Los Angeles around 7:30 a.m. after residents heard up to a dozen gunshots ring out. Authorities discovered Moseley and Hayes dead of gunshot woods when they knocked down the door to their apartment.
Law enforcement officials say it appears that Hayes shot Moseley before turning the gun on himself.
Several media outlets are reporting that Hayes had accused Moseley of cheating.
In addition to appearing on Hit the Floor, Moseley was a choreographer as well as a backup dancer for big names, including Britney Spears and Chris Brown.
“RIP baby girl," Brown wrote on twitter. "Danced with me on tour and was always the coolest person. My prayers go out to you and HAZE family."
