DETORIT – A Detroit father continues his search for justice after his son was murdered last year.

He was able to get away but later died from his injuries.

On Wednesday Feb. 10, Kimball’s father Michael Horner made a plea for anyone to come forward with information about his son’s death.

“If someone in our neighborhood and that particular parking lot knew what happened, they saw what happened, I can understand you’ve been afraid to speak up but we want you to speak up anonymously. Just tell what you saw,” Horner said.

Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest. Anonymous tips can be sent by calling 800-Speak Up or visiting www.1800speakup.org.
