Antoine Edwards, 31, was arrested on March 9th and charged with two counts of second-degree murder for the shooting deaths of Toya Wright's brothers, Joshua and Ryan "Rudy" Johnson. The brothers were found shot to death in a car in New Orleans on July 31, 2016.
NOPD homicide detective Theo Kent said in a sworn affidavit that multiple people tipped him off to a man named "Toine" or "Tweezy," who confessed to the shootings to others at least one time. It was also reported that several witnesses picked Edwards out in a lineup.
Toya commented on Edwards' arrest, telling TMZ, "All we want is justice for my brothers .. We thank everyone for their prayers and support."
