Family of slain Raleigh man speaks out after brutal stabbing
Four days after a man was stabbed to death at a Raleigh apartment complex, his family spoke out about the killing as they wondered why was he slain in such a brutal manner.
Posted — UpdatedPolice charged Steve Andrew Garcia, 17, with murder in connection with Culbreath's death. He remained at the Wake County Jail Wednesday under a no bond order.
Authorities have not said what prompted the stabbing or if the two men knew each other.
Keesha Culbreth, the victim's mother, lives just a mile away from where her middle child was slain.
She said the pain of losing her son has been unimaginable.
"When you killing someone's child, you killing a mama's soul," she said through tears. "You killing me."
Culbreth's family said they don't know much about Garcia or what sparked the killing.
She shared some of the happiest memories with her son, including a picture of the family taken one Sunday.
A makeshift memorial of balloons and flowers have been placed where Jonathan Culbreth was slain.
His family believes there may be other suspects connected to the slaying.
