A motorcyclist shot and killed by Newport Beach police last week during a traffic stop is the brother of former “Real Housewives of Orange County” cast member Lydia McLaughlin.
”My family and I are devastated by the loss of my brother. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends, family, and the community. We kindly ask for privacy as we mourn,” McLaughlin said in a statement in People magazine.
