HOW LYNN FORBES FOUND OUT THAT AKA WAS SHOT DEAD
In an interview with You, Lynn Forbes, AKA’s mother, was in the company of her sister Trudy and brother-in-law Trevor when she received the devastating news of her son’s passing.
Lynn’s youngest son, Steffan, contacted Trevor at around 10 PM that night.
As Trevor sat next to Lynn and put his arm around her, she knew it was bad news, initially assuming it was about her own mother.
“I thought it was my mom. At first, he couldn’t speak, then he said, ‘No, it’s Kiernan,” she said.
