East Bay police search for suspect in Vallejo killing as family seeks justice for young woman
"Damon Whitehead Sr. expressed his grief, stating, 'I found out through her friends. Woke me up in the morning. Was banging on the door. And said my daughter is dead.'"
"Bishop Leon Thomas, Jr. shared the family's experience, saying, 'During the 911 call, from the person that made the call, we heard the two gunshots that took Demonie's life.'"
"Tanya Hunter, Demonie's aunt, emphasized her niece's potential, stating, 'She was bright, funny, smart. And she is going to be missed by many and loved. We just want justice.'"
"Bishop Thomas lamented the violence, saying, 'We don't have to resolve things by killing somebody. To use guns instead of words, it's devastating. There is no coming back from death.'"
