A GoFundMe has been set up to help Keilani Rose’s journey to recovery
Prince George-raised actress and dancer Keilani Rose is recovering after surviving being shot in the chest outside of her apartment in Los Angeles.
She was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital and given immediate emergency care for fractured ribs and a punctured and collapsed right lung. After two blood transfusions and surgery, they were able to begin draining the blood from her lung and chest cavity. “Keilani grew up in the studio,” said Judy Russell, owner of Judy Russell’s Enchainement Dance Centre. Rose was a very successful competitive dancer and Russell would take her on trips around the province to compete.
“They drove up to her apartment, they didn't even turn off the vehicle, and these two armed robbers came running around the corner and opened fire. Luckily, her boyfriend who was driving, was just hit with some flying glass so he was able to take off right away and get her to the paramedics,” said Russell.
Rose also recently made her film debut starring in and choreographing the film Within the Silence, written and directed by Jade Tailor, which garnered the Festival de Cannes awards for Best Fantasy and Best Choreography.
