Pharrell is calling for a federal investigation into the death of his cousin who was fatally shot by a Virginia Beach police officer last month.
On Tuesday (April 6), the mega-producer took to Instagram to share his request while honoring the late Donovon Wayne Lynch. “Thank you God for my 48th lap around the Sun,” he captioned a photo of his cousin. “This one is symbolic and a first because I had to speak at my cousin’s funeral, and was choked up with emotions. Too many unanswered City and State questions. Respectfully, I am calling for a Federal investigation. I also humbly ask that you all keep the family in prayer. His name is Donovon Wayne Lynch.”
