T-Boz's Cousin Gunned Down By Illinois Police

We send our condolences to TLC member T-Boz and her family, as they tragically lost her cousin after he was gunned down by police in Peoria, Illinois. Her cousin — Eddie Russell, Jr. — was tracked down police after being suspected of robbing a bank. Russell, who T-Boz claims was mentally ill, was allegedly lured out of the house by police and then shot between 17 and 20 times by the authorities who (of course) claim that Russell had a handgun on him. T-Boz refutes these claims and is demanding justice for her cousin, telling TMZ that the family definitely plans to sue the police. Our hearts go out to T-Boz and her family and we hope that they're able to find justice and peace during this trying time. #WhenWillItEnd
