The famous DJ on Ellen Degeneres’ talk show, Stephen “Twitch” Boss, has died at the age of 40 after commiting suicide

The famous DJ Twitch pulled the trigger on himself which led to the end of his life. His reasons for commiting suicide are not quite clear yet.

Information has it that Stephen’s wife Allison Holker ran into an LAPD station Tuesday, Dec. 13, and she was frantic because she said Stephen had left home without his car, which is quite unlike him.

A short time later, police got a call for a shooting at a Los Angeles hotel and they found Stephen there, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Holker tells People, “Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

She continues, “Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”

Stephen started DJing on Ellen’s show in 2014, and was with her until the show ended in May 2022.

He had become an executive producer on the show in 2020.

He became famous in 2008 when he was runner-up on “So You Think Can Dance.”

He even furthered into some acting, landing several roles where he could show off his dance skills.

Stephen played Jason in the ‘Step Up’ movie franchise, and he was also in “Magic Mike XXL.”

Twitch and Allison Holker got married in 2013, and had just celebrated their 9-year anniversary on Saturday, Dec. 10 which he posted about on his Instagram page. They had 3 kids.

Not only did he post about their wedding anniversary, but also the birthday wishes for his grandfather before this recent development. Here are some screenshots of his celebratory posts before he committed suicide.
