SAN FRANCISCO – The family of a man who was fatally shot on a San Francisco bridge early Monday say he was an aspiring rapper visiting from Mesquite, Texas.

The younger Stinnette was killed around 2:30 a.m. Monday while driving on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

One passenger was shot and injured and another suffered injuries as the result of a multiple-vehicle collision after the shooting.

Stinnette used the stage name “Lil Pooh” for his music and concert promotion.

Stinnette’s mother told KTVU -TV of Oakland she gave her son the nickname “Pooh” because of his kind nature.
