Wright, who used to be married to rapper Lil Wayne and is now one of the stars of We TV’s [_Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars_](http://www.wetv.com/shows/marriage-boot-camp-reality-stars/about#about "undefined"), mourned the death of her siblings in an emotional Instagram post after the shooting. “Help me Lord. I will never understand this,” she wrote in a caption of a photo of her brothers. Wright also expressed in hashtags that she had never felt “pain like this before.” Police found her two brothers dead inside a car with multiple gunshot wounds early Sunday, _The Times-Picayune_ reports. It’s unclear what prompted the violence and whether there were any arrests. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4432343/toya-wright-brothers-shot-dead/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4432343/toya-wright-brothers-shot-dead/"},"headline":"Reality TV Star Toya Wright Grieves After 2 Brothers Shot Dead in New Orleans","datePublished":"2016-07-31T17:38:01.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T09:58:01.903Z","description":"\"Help me Lord.
