San Antonio <\/strong> \u2013 After five years of living without her son, a San Antonio mother is still desperate for answers heading into what would have been his 27th birthday. <\/p>\n

On June 28, 2021<\/a>, Troy Demetrius Lee, a young father of two and street pastor, was stabbed around 2 a.m. near a bus stop, before collapsing on a nearby hill in front of the Hilltop Oaks Apartments. <\/p>\n

Nyla Roberts, his mother, said in honor of his Jan. 15 heavenly birthday, they will hold a vigil of celebration, remembrance, and demand for justice. <\/p>\n

The vigil will take place symbolically at the location where Lee was stabbed before he died on the way to the hospital. <\/p>\n

Lee\u2019s grandmother said they have planned speakers and prayers during the gathering, where the public is invited to attend. <\/p>\n

They say the biggest message they hope this sends is for the person responsible for taking Lee\u2019s life to turn themselves in. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not giving up,\u201d his grandmother Sylvia Freabe said. \u201cWe want some answers and justice for Troy. He deserves it. He was a good person, and whoever did this, you need to turn yourself in. We forgive you. I know Troy has forgiven you.\u201d<\/p>\n
