Voice of: Maria Hamilton, Mother of Brandon Humes

“I got a call this morning when I was at work from a friend, telling me that my son was dead in San Pedro. I was like stunned. My friend told me that she has a picture and she can send it to you. I told her to send the picture because I know my son well. I hang up the phone. And I got another call, from his aunt. His aunt is a police officer. She asked me where I am and I told her I am at work. She said that Brandon is dead. There are still doing police investigations on the body. They have him at the San Pedro morgue. The police officer said that it is drug related it is…My son was no angel. I love him dearly. I can’t say if they set him up. I can’t say if they planned it whoever did it. I honestly can’t say. He never told me about any, he never came to me and said mom, my life is threatened by anybody. So I don’t know what went wrong but I know from the hearsay, everybody is saying, police is saying gang related and drugs dealing went wrong.”
