Rikishi has spoken out about his niece being shot and killed a little more than a month ago, asking for help identifying who did it.

Rikishi shared some tragic news about his family on Twitter this week. The WWE Hall of Famer revealed that his niece Jaedah Tofaeono was shot and killed on July 30, 2021. Rikishi shared a statement issued by the San Francisco Police Department appealing for information regarding who shot Jaedah. Information leading to the conviction of whoever committed the crime comes with a $50,000 reward.

Rikishi Asks For Help

“Need your help. They murdered my niece In the BAY AREA 16yrs old,” Rikishi tweeted. The full tweet can be found below. Be warned, it contains language some people may find offensive. It's unclear whose daughter Jaedah was. While obviously related to The Usos, she's not the daughter of Jimmy Or Jey who have been competing on SmackDown throughout the summer.

Jimmy and Jey are the sons of Rikishi, which makes Jaedah their cousin. The SmackDown Tag Team Champions have actually been joined by their younger brother Joseph Fatu in WWE. Rikishi's younger son was named as one of six new recruits to join the WWE Performance Center this week. It'll probably be a while before Joseph gets a seat at Roman Reigns' table, but it's exciting to think The Usos might be a three-man team sometime in the future.

It has been a mixed year for The Usos in 2021. Jimmy was arrested for a DUI earlier this year, the second time that has happened to him in as many years. Shortly after that, however, he and Jey beat Rey and Dominik Mysterio to become SmackDown Tag Team Champions. The twins still have the titles and stand alongside their cousin, and Universal Champion, Reigns on SmackDown.

If you have any information regarding the murder of Rikishi's niece Jaedah, no matter how small or insignificant a detail it might seem, use the information above to get in touch with the SFPD. It's unclear how much they have to go on for the investigation right now, but clearly, any info that might result in a lead is welcome as they have issued a plea to the public and even offered up a reward. Our thoughts go out to Jaedah's family at this time.
