“I still don’t believe he died,” said Demissie’s brother, Zalalem Amare. “Especially not knowing who did this. It’s everyday pain.”<\/p>\n

On Sunday, hundreds attended a memorial service for Demissie. His brother begged anyone with any information to come forward.<\/p>\n

“I still say for the people out there, if they know anything, it could be a little, but it will be much to me and the police. I still beg them to come forward,” Amare said. <\/p>\n

Anyone with information that could help police has been asked to call Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463.<\/p>\n
