Family members told local news reporters that Thomas was living with his older brother and had recently reconnected with some old friends. Thomas’ family members believe his old friends showed up at the house to rob him and ultimately shot him. He died at the hospital.
“He was 15 and all he wanted to do was be a rapper and now he’s not here no more,” said Shawndrisa Hicks, Thomas’ mother. source
The teen’s family said they are at a loss for words. They described him as a good kid who loved and liked everyone. They’re hoping that the suspects are captured soon and brought to justice.
