Ironically, when Shen initially called Bar to reveal the news to him, he didn’t pick up because of the growing tension between them. “Someone tell my hard headed son it’s an emergency call,” Shen wrote, saying that Bar’s “phone is off.”
Shen shared more news with fans, writing, “One of the girls I raised was shot last night — three times.” Mercifully, she survived. “But she’s OK,” Shen wrote. “I talked to her this morning and she’s doing good.”
Local paper East Bay Times reported on a shooting at the same time, which is likely the same incident. The shooting took place at 8:51PM on June 22 in the 2000 block of 80th Avenue in East Oakland.
According to the report, Shen’s daughter “told police she was walking when she heard gunshots and saw that she had been wounded.”

The outlet reports: “Police don’t have a motive yet for the shooting and are trying to determine if the woman was the intended target or was hit by a random shot. No arrests have been made. Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $5,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the shooter. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3426 or 510-238-7950 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.”
As Starcasm reports, it should be clarified that although Shen calls the victim her daughter, the woman is not biologically relate to Shen. Shen had five children, but says that she raised 47 children in total! Starcasm points out, “And she did that in a VERY difficult environment with gang violence, drug dealers, and more all around.”
Facebook group Teen Mom Mama Drama later gave an update about the event. “Teen Mom Mama Drama can confirm that Bariki’s sister J Weez was shot,” the group reads. “J Weez was apparently walking when gun shots were fired. She was wounded and taken to a local hospital. The police are still investigating the situation.”
