"The Orleans Parish Coroner's Office confirmed Monday the identities of the two victims in the double homicide as Ryan "Rudy" Johnson, 24, and Joshua Johnson, 31. The two are brothers of local reality TV star, Toya Wright.
New Orleans Police officials are still investigating the deaths.What started out as a call about a shooting at Pauger and North Miro streets for Fifth District officers, turned into the discovery of the two Johnson brothers.The shooting happened just after midnight Sunday. Both men were found inside a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds.
Now report Uncle Henry Holmes via wdsu.com:
"I was in my house and my neighbor came and told me about the gunshots," uncle Henry Holmes said. "They were good kids, as far as I know. I never knew of them to getting into any trouble or anything."
Holmes said there are too many unanswered questions.
"I don't know what happened. I don't know why he got killed. I couldn't tell you. I don't know who did it, or why they did it," Holmes said.As he tries to piece together answers for the senseless violence in his neighborhood, Holmes said he's considering moving before it's too late."I'm ready to get out of here, out of this neighborhood. I'm just ready to get out of here. Too much killings in these neighborhoods," Holmes said. Investigators have not named suspects in this case.
Also another witness speak out, via theadvocate:
" John Kemper, 55, said the voices he heard across the street from his residence in the 2800 block of Pauger Street just after midnight Sunday morning were so loud that he peered through the window to see what was happening.
When he looked out, he said, he saw several residents of a group of brick apartment buildings on the upriver side of the street, yelling at the occupants of a black SUV. "
“They were yelling down, looking at the car,” Kemper said. “There was a commotion going on.” He said such disturbances are so common on the block that he went back into a rear room of his apartment. From inside the apartment, he then heard nine shots, he said.
“When I looked back out, everybody was gone,” Kemper said.The engine of the black SUV was still running, however. When police officers arrived at the scene, they found brothers Ryan “Rudy” Johnson, and Joshua Johnson, dead from gunshot wounds inside the vehicle.Police have given no indication about who they think may have killed the Johnson brothers or why. But Kemper and several other neighbors said they suspected a connection to drug dealing near the brick apartment buildings.“It be like they’re selling sno-balls over there,” one said.
Police asked anyone with information on the killings to contact Homicide Detective Theo Kent at (504) 658-5300.
