MIAMI (WSVN) -- Loved ones held a candlelight vigil for a South Florida rapper who was shot and killed in front of his kids.

Family and friends gathered Monday night to remember Robert Labranche, popularly known as Bizzle in the music world. Many of those who knew him personally said he was more than just a rapper but also a good person.

"Robert was also known in the community," said mourner Ashley Smith. "He was a very great person. He was a great father to his kids and also to his nephew and family members."

Labranche was murdered last Monday night. Police said a gunman shot him at a car wash while his son and daughter were nearby.

No arrest have been made.
