On Monday, pop star Pharrell Williams mourned the death of his cousin, Donovon W. Lynch, who was shot Friday by police in Virginia Beach after they responded to a gun battle in the streets. The police were called when a gunfight that left eight wounded erupted at a beachfront street event. Officers said when they arrived, Lynch was brandishing a firearm. Three men were charged in the shooting. The “Happy” singer posted a message about his cousin to Instagram on Monday morning, calling the shooting a “tragedy beyond measure.” “The loss of these lives is a tragedy beyond measure,” Pharrell Williams wrote in his post. “My cousin Donovon was killed during the shootings. He was a bright light and someone who always showed up for others. It is critical my family and the other victims’ families get the transparency, honesty, and justice they deserve.
