Brothers to reality star Toya Wright, Josh and Rudy Johnson, were reportedly shot and killed in their hometown of New Orleans early Sunday (July 31) morning, BET reports.
New Orleans Police Department confirmed that two men were discovered inside of a car in the 7th ward near the corner of Pauger and North Miro streets, according to the NOPD’s official Twitter account. They suffered from multiple shot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.
Wright learned of her brothers’ untimely deaths while on stage at a venue in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and understandably “stormed off.”
The 32-year-old personality addressed the fatal shooting on her Instagram. “Help me Lord I will never understand this,” she captioned under a picture of Rudy and Josh.

Fans and celebrities have poured out their condolences for Wright’s loss including longtime frenemy K. Michelle who tweeted out Toya her support, despite the two blocking each other on social media years ago.
“Nobody deserves that type of pain,” the singer wrote in a series of tweets. “We may never be best friend but U are my sister in Christ. I pray for u and your whole family.”
As of now, who the possible suspects could be or a possible motive has not been disclosed by police.
