Someone He Trusted
Since her son’s gruesome death, Desire Brazell has been left with her sorrow and confusion and has focused obsessively - not on the salacious headlines of a secret gay affair but on her son’s cell phone. The next morning, she called his friends and the police.
Desire Brazell said she didn’t know if her son was gay or bisexual and that she doesn’t care.
She believes his killer was someone he knew well.
“A friend killed him, someone he trusted,” she said.
The mom said her foreboding started when she couldn’t get through to him the morning he disappeared because his phone was turned off.
“It [didn’t] make any sense; he lived through his cell phone,” she said.
