Chris Lighty’s Brother Launches Petition to Reopen Controversial Suicide Case

The petition was launched this month and reads:

Its been two years and I’m still in shock like everyone else. He was my boss through Brand Asset Group for 2-years working with Motions Hair Care. Gave me my 1st start in lights, camera-Action! I will forever be THANKFUL for this group of people of Brand Asset Group/Violator. I was in deep shock reading he shot himself as well. Not knowing him personally but showing up on set just don’t ring to me he would kill himself. I would open in up too…cause this don’t seem right. Family is still in my prayers.
