Toya Wright’s Brothers Killed In New Orleans
Reality star Toya Wright mourned the sudden deaths of her brothers after they were reportedly shot and killed in New Orleans early Sunday morning.
The two men were found by New Orleans police inside a car shortly after midnight, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. Both had reportedly suffered gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.
The police department is yet to release the identities of the victims, but family members told the newspaper that they were Wright’s brothers.
Wright, 32, seemed to confirm the news with a somber Instagram post a few hours later.
Authorities haven’t named any possible suspects in relation to the shootings, nor have they revealed any potential motives.
Wright was previously married to hip-hop star Lil Wayne and has a daughter with him. She is currently a cast member of We TV‘s “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars” and also starred on her own series, “Toya: A Family Affair,” on BET for one season in 2011.
The TV star, whose full name is Antonia Wright, received a slew of supportive messages on social media following the news of her brothers’ deaths, including one from rapper Trina.
“I’m praying for @ToyaWright her mom and her family during this horrible tragedy” she tweeted. “My heart is heavy. Life is so short.”
