Morris’ family says he was a good father, a good brother and son, always full of life.

Now, the family is calling on the community to help put an end to violence in their city.

“I don’t want no more sons getting buried, I don’t want no more parents burying their kids, no more kids growing up without their fathers or mothers or anything like that,” said Morris’ brother Derrick Morris.
