  • Two of The Orlando Club Shooting Victims Had Atlanta Connections… [PHOTOS]

    Jun, 14 2016 | Written by ATL-Staff1

    Orlando Shooting Victims 2

    It’s being reported that at least two of the 50 victims gunned down in a Orlando nightclub last Sunday night had ties to the Atlanta area.

    Details below…

    shane-evan-tomlinsonShane Evan Tomlinson, 33, sang with his band Frequency on Saturday at Blue Martini nightclub just hours before he was killed at Pulse in downtown Orlando.

    Tomlinson, originally from Concord, N.C.,?is listed among the deceased in the attack, but previously had addresses in Duluth, Atlanta and Marietta, according to a search of public records.

    A North Carolina TV station, WNCN, reported Monday that Tomlinson had been killed and had previously attended East Carolina University in Greenville.

    Tomlinson was lead singer in a six-member Orlando-based band, Frequency Band, which had a set list that spanned everything from old-school R&B to country music.

    shane-tomlinson-11According to the band?s Facebook page, the group was supposed to play a gig Saturday night at another club in the city called Blue Martini Orlando.

    Tomlinson’s ties to Atlanta include modeling work between 2006 and 2009. He has past addresses in Duluth, Atlanta and Marietta, according to the AJC. WSB reported on Monday that relatives of Tomlinson still live in Atlanta.

    Instead, fans have now begun posting ?R.I.P Shane? comments although the band has made no formal announcements about his death.

    xavier-emmanuel-serrano-rosadoAccording to the AJC,?a second victim of the Orlando massacre, Xavier Emmanuel Serrano Rasado, 35, was a dancer who performed at Atlanta Bachata in 2014.

    Although the event mostly focuses on Latin dance and music, Rosado performed a contemporary number.

    ?It had nothing to do with Latin dancing but it was how he felt,? said event director Jose Maldonado.

    ?He stood out. His performance was not the regular salsa. It was passion driven. It set him apart.?

    sopranoSerrano, who has a young son, had also worked as an entertainer at Splash Bar in Panama City Beach, FL?according to Buzzfeed.

    The bar?posted a statement?about Serrano early Monday.

    It’s with a heavy heart we must confirm the passing of Eman Valentino (Xavier E. Serrano) after being shot at the Orlando nightclub Pulse by a madman. He was part of Splash’s extended family and leaves a small son behind.

    He took his time to work with Flagpole, Grant, Vadim and some of the other dancers to improve their moves and was quick with a smile. He most recently appeared as a male entertainer at Splash as well as a go go dancer. Our prayers are with your family, my friend.

    R.I.P. to the many who?lost their lives in this horrific incident.

        Kandi Burruss filed an amended complaint after Tod Kandi Burruss filed an amended complaint after Todd’s attorney called her out for procedural errors. She’s now asking for primary physical custody of the kids, and basically saying Bravo’s uncut footage should be subpoenaed too 👀

This ain’t reality TV — it’s real life, and it’s getting messy QUICK. And if Todd thought he was gon’ walk off with the kids? Kandi said: “Nah, I want it all.”

        For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — t For YEARS y’all invited us into everything — the love, the prenup, the babies, the fights, the businesses… all of it on reality TV.
But NOW that the divorce is in court, suddenly it’s “seal the documents & protect my privacy”? 🤔

Meanwhile Todd ain’t trying to seal a thing.
So what changed? And what doesn’t she want the public to see?
Let’s talk about it… 👀🍿

        They try to silence strong Black women for telling They try to silence strong Black women for telling the truth — but somehow misogyny gets rewarded with views, clicks, and applause.

What’s even more disturbing? So many women are cheering it on.
At some point, we have to ask: Why is disrespect toward Black women still profitable?

This isn’t entertainment.
This is accountability.

        This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, This was not a “read.” This was an unprovoked, problematic rant — and it needed to be called out. Junkie Dineva went after Tamar Braxton’s parents, upbringing, and mental health for no legitimate reason, and that kind of misogyny should never be excused as entertainment.

Going viral for disrespecting Black women is the real issue — and that’s what we’re unpacking on ATLien Live.

        Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one Straight From the A to the Hall of Fame! This one hits different. 👽🛸

OutKast’s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2025 isn’t just a win for hip-hop — it’s a celebration of Atlanta’s heartbeat. Before there was Real Housewives, Love & Hip Hop, or any Atlanta reality show, there was the Atlanta music scene — real stories, real people, and a creative energy that could only come from the Southside.

I grew up in Southwest Atlanta, and back then, it wasn’t unusual to bump into (or run with) the same circles as OutKast and the Dungeon Family. We were all just young ATL dreamers finding our voices, our style, and our lane. Somewhere along the way, I kinda inserted myself as an unofficial member of that crew, a sister to the culture, always front and center, documenting the movement before “content creator” was even a thing.

When I started blogging in 2007, Straight From The A wasn’t about reality TV or viral gossip. It was about the music, the movement, and the people who put Atlanta on the map. My blog name, my pen name ATLien, my whole digital identity was inspired by @outkast , @goodiemob , @killermike , @ceelogreen @sleepybrown , and the whole Dungeon Family - the original ATLiens who made the world respect the South. 

And Killer Mike — I’ll never forget how you encouraged me to keep pushing nearly 20 years ago when blogging was still that “weird internet thing.”

Today, I celebrate the legends who defined Atlanta’s sound, spirit, and swagger. True innovators. True visionaries. Forever ATL. 👽🛸
