Black Eyed Pea’s brother murdered
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 5 February 2009
The brother of Black Eyed Pea apl.de.ap was murdered in the Philippines yesterday. Joven Pineda Deala was the youngest brother of apl.de.ap, real name Allan Pineda Lindo, and he was reportedly shot dead in the northern town of Porac, in the country’s Pampanga province, while sitting in a car near his girlfriend’s home.
Police are investigating the crime and no official announcement has been made on it, though E! Online allege the shooting may have been the result of a feud between Deala and another man after being caught up in some kind of love triangle.
Rapper producer Lindo is expected to return to his home country to attend his brother’s funeral.
