Actress Keilani Rose is recovering in British Columbia after being shot

A BC performer is recovering after being shot in the chest in Los Angeles last month.

Keilani Rose is perhaps best known for playing Miigwan on Hulu’s Shoresy, but she’s also a dancer, DJ, and director.

On July 4, she was shot by a stranger while being dropped off at her apartment. The shooting left her with broken ribs and a collapsed right lung, as well as significant medical bills.

Rose is currently recovering with her family in British Columbia after two surgeries. Her physical recovery is expected to take three months.

In a recent Instagram video, the 30-year-old Indigenous woman thanked her friends and fans for their support following the incident, which she said she’s still trying to process.

“I just wanted to come here to tell you that I’m fine,” she says at the start of the video.

“I feel beyond OK right now. I am overwhelmed with so much love, so much gratitude and so much wonder.”
