Toya Wright is in mourning at the moment.
We can’t imagine that the reality star and her family are going through.
On Sunday morning, a little after midnight, police have reported that two young men were shot multiple times inside a car in the city’s 7th Ward.
The victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
Although authorities are yet to release their names, Wright’s family has confirmed that they were the reality star’s brothers, Rudy and Josh Johnson.
Wright, best known for an appearance on VH1’s Marriage Boot Camp and for her own 2011 series, Toya: A Family Affair, took to Instagram to send the following message.
“Help me Lord,” she wrote along with a photo of her siblings. “I will never understand this.”
She added the hashtags #stoptheviolence #ineverfeltpainlikethisbefore #riptomybrothers #icantbelievethis #prayformyfamily.
This devastating news comes just three days after Wright filed for divorce from her husband, Mickey “Memphitz” Wright, following five years of marriage.
She was previously married to rapper Lil Wayne from February 2004 to January 2006.
Wright and Lil Wayne she share a 17-year-old daughter named Reginae Carter.
Wright is a native of New Orleans and has also penned a book titled “Priceless Inspiration.”
She owns boutique called G.A.R.B. in this famous Louisiana city, along with GARB Shoetique in Smyrna, Georgia, and was in Baton Rouge at the timing of the killings for an appearance at Allure Night Club & Ultra Lounge.
Along with Wright’s above message, daughter Reginae wrote the following on Instagram in response to the stunning development:
“I lost two of my uncles last night I’m speechless . I’m hurt . I’m devastated . What in the world is going on in this world ?”
Hip hop star Trina also sent her love to Wright, Tweeting:
“I’m praying for @ToyaWright her mom and her family during this horrible tragedy. My heart is heavy. Life is so short.”
Just hours after Wright lost two family members, Jessica Alba and Ne-Yo led a tribute at the 2016 Teen Choice Awards to the victims of gun violence.
Toward the end, Ne-Yo asked attendees to take a photo of those on stage and to include with it one of the same hashtags that Wright used above:
#StoptheViolence.
