Two brothers of reality television star Toya Wright were gunned down early Sunday morning, July 31, 2016 in New Orleans according to family members.
While police have not confirmed their identities, Wright wrote on social media: “Help me Lord???? I will never understand this. #stoptheviolence #ineverfeltpainlikethisbefore #riptomybrothers #icantbelievethis #prayformyfamily ???”
According to NOLA.com, the young black “men were discovered shortly after midnight Sunday, at 1:26am, inside a car near the corner of Pauger and North Miro streets in the city’s 7th Ward. Both had been shot multiple times and pronounced dead at the scene, New Orleans police said. Less than an hour later, a man was shot to death in the Seabrook neighborhood of New Orleans East.”
Even though they haven’t seen eye-to-eye in the past, K. Michelle, who will performs tonight for the Atlanta leg of her ‘Hello Kimberly Tour,’ sent condolences via social media:
“I would DM u but we blocked each other long ago. I just received word of ur loss. Even though we’ve never met my heart hurts 4u. Nobody deserves that type of pain.
