We don't know the circumstances around the tragic encounter. Everything we know, so far, are the things that the record artist is saying on social media. "My Heart Is Broken!" she told her followers. "U Think The Tragedies That Happen Across The World Wouldn't Happen2 U At Least U Hope They Won't! But To Us It Did."
T-Boz also insinuated that cops lied about what really happened during the violent altercation. She continued: "The cops shot my cousin 17-20 times KNOWING he was mentally ill Their Stories R diff EVERY TIME Making him out 2 be something he's NOT... Pray for My Family and please ask for TRUE FACTS AND JUSTICE!!!"
We're not sure if T-Boz's cousin lost his life because the singer has yet to say. But, that's quite possible after allegedly being shot so many times, as T-Boz said.
Read her heartbreaking tweets below. Our condolences go out to her family.
