For those that know anything plz i begg u that u plz come forward n say something... i dont know if you all feel what we feel but when u wake up one day waiting to see the person u love to come home so things can be the same as they used too it hurts...it hurts alot .. i wish that my brother was here with us its been 2 years and it hurts us more to know that they still dont have a clue of who could it be i hate the fact that his own friends can hold back who his murderer is cause i know that they know when u loose some1 the same way we lost him u will know how painful that is especially when his murderer is not a suspect it hurts me to see that his daughter comes to our home and stares at her dads picture telling us she misses him... we miss him very much but i know that tears wont ever bring him back .. when u loose some1 that way u loose them for good thats it the only way we get to see him is by a picture... we have a video tape u cant see him but in that tape all u can hear its his voice n its not enough

Sorry I cant. But what I told you should give police a lead. If there was a purse or anything that didnt belong to him found at the crime scene, they should test that. Just what I know he was arguing with a girl before hes murder.

Emmeline, my prayers go out to you and your family. It is such a tragedy when the streets take loved ones away from us. God says to forgive, so find it in your heart to forgive the person who took your brother's life and know that your brother is in God's care now. My heart aches for your families pain and I hold your family in my prayers.

I drive pass the site often and have wonder who could do this to anyone. I see the memorial that you guys have set up and always say a prayer for your family.. its such a sad loss especially when you never know who caused this pain to your family. With time I hope that your pain is healed and that this person is caught.
