Alphonso Sims feels the loss deeply and he called on the community to help the family in their search for DaJuan's killer.
"April 9th when we left work he walked out the door and said hey dad I'll see you tomorrow but tomorrow never came. I got a call about 45 minutes later telling me my son is dead. Come on everybody, speak up, just speak up you're not a snitch, just speak up and say what you know," Sims said.
