LANSING, Mich. – Dorresa Hicks, the mother of 26-year-old Savon Hicks, said she is emotionally drained less than a week after her son was murdered.<\/p>\n
On Friday, Lansing Police responded to a medical call at the 1200 block of Malcolm X Street.<\/p>\n
Upon their arrival, police found 26-year-old Hicks dead on the backyard deck.<\/p>\n
An autopsy is being performed to determine the cause of death. But Dorresa, Hick\u2019s mother, can\u2019t understand why he was murdered.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy would someone do that? He didn\u2019t deserve that. He has two twins out here that are two years old that will not have a father, that will not be able to know their father, not be able to be held by him,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Dorresa said she was with Savon the day he was killed. She said she was running errands with him earlier in the day.<\/p>\n
While out shopping, someone had complimented Savon on his shoes. Dorresa took note of how nice the shoes looked. But later in the day, she would have to identify her son by those same shoes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the hardest thing I\u2019ve ever had to do in my entire life, is identify my baby by his shoes and a tattoo,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Dorresa is trying to plan her son\u2019s funeral, but she can\u2019t afford it. She said the funeral costs $7,500. Dorresa has created a\u00a0GoFundMe, which so far has raised $1,780.<\/p>\n
Police have named 43-year-old Floyd Elliot Kohn, also known as Missie, as the suspect involved with Savon\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
Police have a warrant out for his arrest and are actively looking for him.<\/p>\n
