Family members are calling for justice days after their loved one was shot and killed in a road rage incident in Miami Gardens. NBC6’s Kim Wynne reports
Christina Peart and Sheleen Ollivier want their brother 27-year-old Demoy Peart to be remembered as loving and family-oriented.
“He was a very personable person, very outgoing,” Christina said.
On Saturday, Demoy was shot and killed in what police say was a shooting caused by road rage.
“Just because you’re upset, just because you didn’t like what someone did on the road doesn’t give you the right to take their life,” she said.
