Meanwhile, TMZ, citing sources, reports that Pearson's death took place over accusations he was disturbing residents in his apartment complex. Insiders claimed Pearson was in the pool area with his girlfriend "making a lot of noise around 2 am Sunday" when one man started "yelling hard" at him, resulting in a screaming match. The outlet claims Pearson allegedly went to confront the man and that's when he was fatally stabbed.

Pearson worked as a DJ by the name of Creature Ferris and was featured on the first season of MTV's "Ex on the Beach," which saw participants – some being cast-offs from other reality shows – confront their exes.

According to TMZ, Pearson did not have any prior reality television experience.

During his time on the show, two of Pearson's former flames were brought on to confront the DJ, who was brought to tears over one of them.

As Creatures Ferris, Pearson has released a number of songs, his most recent being "Lost in the Night (feat. Jake Vincent)," which was released in early March.

He also released the song "No Questions (Nity Dior)" in January of this year.

"Chris was the one person that loved with his whole heart. He had so much love and energy to give to every single person he crossed paths with. He wouldn't leave the room until he made sure every single person was happy," the GoFundMe read. "Chris was the most determined person there could ever be. He had a dream, set a goal & didn't stop until he achieved that goal. It didn't matter what or who he lost on the way, he made sure he had his eye on one thing and one thing only."

All Chris wanted was to make it far in life to help his family and make them proud. Chris was taken from us way way too soon. Nobody was ready for this, there was so much more he had set to accomplish."
