Donovon Lynch: – Pharrell Williams’ cousin shot and killed

Late Friday night local time, the police in the USA reported what must have been “a very chaotic night on the beach”, after several events in Virginia Beach.

It then became known that there had been a shooting episode near the sea in the state, where at least eight people had been injured. A suspected perpetrator was killed by police after the exchange of fire.

In addition, two people were shot and killed in two different incidents that were probably not related to the first shooting episode. A police officer received life-threatening injuries when he was hit the same evening.

The artist Pharrell Williams (47) is one of the relatives. Monday night this week, he shared that his cousin Donovon Lynch was shot and killed by police.

“The loss of these lives is an unparalleled tragedy. My cousin Donovon was killed during the shooting. He was a shining light and one who was always there for others “, Williams wrote in a tweet, and continued:

“It is important that my family and the other relatives receive the openness, honesty and justice they deserve now.”

Finally, he wrote that Virginia Beach would recover from the tragedy.

Three men aged 18-22 have been arrested and charged in connection with the first shooting. Among other things, they are charged with the use of firearms and reckless behavior.

Police Chief Paul Neudigate stated in a press conference on Saturday that Lynch was killed in an exchange of gunfire with the police. Two police officers claimed that the 25-year-old carried a handgun during the shooting episode, according to NBC.

Another independent witness confirmed that Lynch had been in possession of a firearm earlier Friday afternoon. It informed the local police in one Facebook-post, which also included photos of the weapons.

According to CNN, the police officer who shot Lynch did not have his body camera activated.
