Stop scrolling for a sec because this is *wild*. Ariela La Langosta, aka Ariela Mejia-Polanco, the 33-year-old influencer you might’ve seen in Tekashi 6ix9ine’s “Wapae” video last year, has died—and it was NOT an accident.
Westchester County police just dropped the details: Ariela was found dead behind the wheel of her car on the Cross County Parkway in Mount Vernon around 8 a.m. on Sunday. The medical examiner confirmed she was killed by gunshots. And the cops are saying this wasn’t a random thing—someone targeted her.
Police are investigating it as a homicide, and multiple law enforcement teams—local, state, and federal—are all on the case. No suspects have been named yet, and the investigation is still ongoing.
Tekashi 6ix9ine even posted on social media mourning her loss, showing just how many people Ariela touched before this tragic moment.
RIP Ariela. Sending love to her family, friends, and everyone who loved her energy online.
