"He was always my go-to person, and he was my protector. So the fact that you know someone would do this to him is just beyond us," she said.
On Wednesday, March 20, at about 3 p.m. Sheree's mother got off work and went to see her son at his home along the 5300 block of North Marvine Street in Philadelphia's Olney section.
"When she opened up the door, she was under the impression that he was sleeping in his bed," Johnson said. "Then as she got closer, she seen blood coming out of his mouth."
The 35-year-old was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

"If anything we just want justice. There is no revenge. You know there is no none of that. We just want justice for our brother because he deserves it," she said.
