Family and friends of Long Beach musician Toko Tasi will be holding a candlelight vigil tonight in his memory at the site where he was gunned down late Saturday night.

The 45-year-old reggae and hip-hop artist, born Asofaatasi Malaki in Hawaii but raised in Long Beach, was killed on West Willow Street near Eucalyptus Avenue just outside a bar at about 11:40 p.m.

Authorities believe there was a dispute between Tasi and the assailant before the shooting. The gunman fled on foot after shooting Tasi and remains at large.
