UNKNOWN MOTIVE

The motive of the alleged slaying is unknown. However, the mother of Kamari did resort to a chilling confession when speaking to the police, expressing:

“I told them to get into the kneeling position, my sons did but my daughter and sister didn’t and they had to go. So, I did what I had to do.”
