Tragedy struck Chanel West Coast's young life as early as 2007, when her ex-boyfriend, Saul Garcia, was shot and killed on December 5 of that year. Garcia was killed along with his friend, Kevin Deville, at 7058 Hazeltine Avenue, in the neighborhood of Van Nuys in Los Angeles in what the Los Angeles Times called a "double homicide."

The Los Angeles Police Department initially arrived to clear the scene after a shots-fired call came in. After they left, another call came in from someone saying they saw "two young men lying wounded on a grassy median next to the sidewalk," per the Los Angeles Times. Both Garcia and Deville were 21 at the time and died shortly after being shot.

Chanel, who is now dating boyfriend Dom Fenison, was only 19 when this tragedy occurred and yet the memories of Garcia and Deville stay with her, as she often posts tributes to the two young men on Twitter around the anniversary of their passing.

In 2009, Chanel tweeted: "On 12/05/07 my ex boyfriend and his best friend were shot and killed. I can't believe you've been gone 2 years. I love u! RIP Saul & Kevin."

In 2012, Chanel tweeted: "Last week on December 5th it was the 5 year anniversary of my 2 best friends being shot to death. (RIP Saul & Kevin)."

These tragic deaths weren't the only losses Chanel experienced.
