Family still seeks justice for LeJon Alexandre after he was shot, killed in city's Logan section
It's been over two years since a man was shot and killed in the Logan section of the city. Now, his family is still looking to bring his killer to justice.
"I hurt every day, I hurt every single day," says Judith Wilson. "Its two years, two years, two years, I'm still at day one."
Wilson is still struggling to come to terms with the murder of her first born son, 32-year-old LeJon Alexandre.
"This person, he didn't just take my son, he took a brother, an uncle, a friend," says Wilson.
It was on Thursday, October 12th, 2023 at almost 9 a.m. when gunfire rang out on the 200 block of West Ashdale Street in Logan.
Police officers just happened to be two blocks away serving a search warrant on an unrelated home invasion when they heard the shots being fired.
Upon arrival, they found Alexandre with a gunshot wound to the head.
"That's my son you know, it could be any one of our children," says Wilson.
Flying bullets also hit a Metro Fleet Bus that was transporting members of the elderly community at the time, shattering the driver's side window.
The driver was hit in the upper body, but survived his wounds.
Those on the bus were shaken up, but not hurt.
More than two years later, there is no suspect in custody.
Wilson has a message for her son's killer
"Just do the right thing, and turn yourself in and at least let there be closure."
The Citizens Crime Commission is offering a $20,000 reward that leads to an arrest and conviction in this case.
