Gangsta Boo's Family Announces Funeral & Memorial Details

Gangsta Boo, real name Lola Mitchell, will be laid to rest on Saturday (January 14). According to WREG-Memphis, those wishing to attend can purchase tickets through Eventbrite. The service will be held at Brown Baptist Church in Southaven, Mississippi, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. local time and is open to the public. There will also be a Celebration of Life for Gangsta Boo on Friday (January 13) at Railgarten from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. 

Gangsta Boo was found deceased on the porch of her Whitehaven home on January 1, just 43 years old. While the Memphis Police Department is currently investigating her death, those close to Gangsta Boo are confident she succumbed to a drug overdose. The night before, New Year's Eve, Boo attended an 8Ball & MJG concert with her brother who was hospitalized that evening after a drug overdose. While he bounced back, Boo wasn't as fortunate. She supposedly had a "fentanyl-based" substance on her person at the time of her death. 

In the wake of Gangsta Boo's unexpected passing, her longtime partner Emmett Flores has been sharing Instagram videos of their time together. Find them here.
