New Orleans police arrested a suspect in the shooting deaths of Antonia “Toya” Wright’s brothers.
Nola.com reports police arrested Antoine Edwards, 31, and charged him with two counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of Joshua Johnson and Ryan “Rudy” Johnson.
The brothers were killed in a drive-by shooting as they sat in a car at a corner in New Orleans’ notorious 7th Ward on July 31, 2016.
Joshua, 31, and Ryan, 24, were shot multiple times inside a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox parked with its engine running at the corner of Pauger and North Miro streets just after midnight.
An arrest warrant obtained by Nola.com states that Edwards, also known as known as “Toine” or “Tweezy”, bragged about the crime to others.
Police identified Edwards by his nickname and he was picked out of a lineup by a witness.
The warrant identifies Edwards as the suspect who was “in the area during the time the incident occurred and as the subject who produced a firearm and shot the victims in this incident.”
Wright featured her brothers in episodes of her reality TV show, Toya: A family Affair.
