"Meskay nitap" are among the words that have been circulating in social media posts made by Bert Knockwood's loved ones since his death earlier this week. McIntyre said that's how Knockwood got into turntables and became a DJ, later under the name DJ Shinook. He was dating Knockwood's sister Maeann when she suddenly died in November 1999. Pelrine said Knockwood's death being ruled a homicide has shattered his heart. "Nobody deserves to lose their life like this, especially not Bert Knockwood."
