"We were told that they found him [the suspect] at his place of residence hiding under the house and was washing off the knife. Mark didn't even get to ride off, when he kill him. His hands was on the handle when they found the body," the family member related.
"I would like to get justice because he didn't deserve to die like that. Even if they were in an argument, he hit him in the head, how you gun still go and cut he throat."
Investigations are ongoing.
