A shocking loss. Stephen “tWitch” Boss has died at the age of 40, Us Weekly confirms.
According to records from the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, the Star Search alum died on Tuesday, December 13.
TMZ reported on Wednesday, December 14, that the dancer’s wife, Allison Holker, informed officials at the Los Angeles Police Department one day prior that Boss had left their home without his car, which was unusual behavior. Police later received a call for a shooting at a hotel L.A., where Boss was found dead.
The Alabama native rose to stardom on So You Think You Can Dance, first auditioning for season 3 of the competition series. He didn’t make the Top 20 initially, but he returned for season 4 and came in second place. Boss later appeared throughout the series as an All Star dancer.
In 2014, the Step Up 3D star joined The Ellen DeGeneres Show as her in-house DJ. Three years later, he teamed up with Ellen DeGeneres for Ellen’s Game of Games.
Boss married the Dancing With the Stars alum, 34, in 2013. The pair welcomed son Maddox and daughter Zaia in 2016 and 2019, respectively. Holker is also the mother of daughter Weslie from a previous relationship.
