"That day, that time, has changed our lives forever," said Jerrilyn Dabney, Jamir's grandmother. "What person would just leave a child laying in the road?"  

The family is pleading for whoever is responsible to turn themselves in.

"This is everything to us," said Dabney. "We are hurting, please come forward."

"I brought a football, because he’s a great football player and he only deserves the best," said Jeremy Goldwyn, one of the victim's friends. "He wouldn't want you to do anything stupid to yourself, he would want you to do something great for him, that's what I think."
