Mother Seeks Justice After Son’s Murder in Homestead
Tragic Incident Rocks Community
A mother is searching for justice after her son, Martavious Ezell, was shot and killed in Homestead, Florida, on September 15. The mother, Pamela Ezell, is working with the Homestead Police Department to bring the perpetrator to justice, but so far, no one has been arrested in connection with the murder.
Mom’s Plea for Justice
Pamela Ezell, along with her son’s oldest daughter, joined Homestead Police on a "knock and talk" campaign, visiting doors in the neighborhood to inform residents of the importance of reporting crimes and to encourage anyone with information to come forward. "I don’t want no parent to feel this pain that I’m going through," Ezell said. "You don’t have to say something to me or the police, all I’m asking is if someone has a heart to pick up the phone and call Crime Stoppers and let them know who this individual is so this person can be brought to justice, because that’s all I want is justice for my son."
Homestead Police’s "Knock and Talk" Campaign
The police’s initiative is aimed at bringing awareness to the importance of reporting these types of crimes. "We get more tips than just sending out blasts on social media because we’re person to person," said Sgt. Robbie Tate. The campaign has led to a surge in tips, and police are hoping that the recent activity will lead to new leads.
