Jason was my brother. Since his death our family has met with Richmond Police Department once and that was at our request. The person’s house my brother was going to and was killed at once he stepped out of his car was a person who they call “G” who was taken into custody and later released. Since this time Richmond PD, have taken a back seat while waiting like they have done for year for a crime to solve itself which never happens therefore 4,5 20 yrs from now it’s an open case due it not being solved but closed at the same time because Richmond PD is sitting behind the desk waiting for retirement. We didn’t even attend my brothers funeral due to the ignorance involved in it all and family of our who wanted to attend from Southern California we didn’t allow for them to attend and trust and believe it was definitely for the better.

It is so sad the system has failed Jason. Nobody deserves to die like that. How can this be allowed to just happen. There is so much injustice in this world. It is hard not to get swallowed up by it.
