The star concluded: "Virginia Beach is the epitome of hope and tenacity and, as a community, we will get through this and come out even stronger."
Williams provided no further details on his cousin's death.
Three individuals have been charged and are in custody after the incidents, according to a statement released on Saturday by the Virginia Beach Police Department (VBPD), which added that Lynch's death was tied to an "officer-involved shooting."
The three suspects have been charged with "seven counts of felonious assault, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and reckless handling of a firearm."
The second victim was Deshayla E. Harris, a bystander in the event and an alum of "Bad Girls Club."
