Well my name is Mercedes Smith and at this point of this case I am concerned that this matter is not being handled as serious as this situation should be. With that being said there are many witnesses that Damion "Dank" Moore was the killer of Trayvon Earl Jeffers. This man has been in custody mulitiply times and has not yet been charged with this crime my question to you is why? All I ask is that someone besides my self come forward and speak on this matter. Put your self in my family shoes and see how this would fill to be one hundred percent sure of your murderer and he is free. Trayvon had changed for the better not only for himself but for those who were around him. All I want to do is bring this to an end so my family could smile again at ease. Trayvon I love you and will always miss you gone but never forgotten. Ladii Nogood
