We’ve got really bad news regarding reality TV star Toya Wright. Two of her brothers, Rudy and Josh Johnson, were shot to death early Sunday morning in New Orleans.
According to a NOLA.com report, the two men were discovered shortly after midnight Sunday 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.
Police have not released any information about a motive or possible suspects in either fatal shooting.
Wright, a New Orleans native, is the ex-wife of Lil Wayne and is one of the stars of Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars on We TV. She is also a musician, author and owner of a Magazine Street boutique.
