SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) – Just two days of working at Domino’s Pizza, Lester McGee’s mother, Cheryl Harris, says her son was more than a delivery driver.
“I just want everybody to remember him as that loving, quiet, shy, friendly, heart-warming, thoughtful person that he was,” says Harris. “He had love for everyone. He was a people-person.”
As for Lester and his mother’s last conversation, she didn’t expect that to be their last one.
“On Friday he called and said, “I got my shirts for Domino’s!”, he was excited about that.”
While coping with their loss, the family now holds on tight to their memories and hope for justice.
“My son lost his life, and his three kids lost their dad. He has a 9-year-old, a 5-year-old, and a 3-year-old. They’re never going to see their dad ever again in life. All we need is justice for him,” says McGee’s mother.
“Not just my family, but families all over this city deserve closure. We’re tax-paying people and we deserve for our police department to work in a manner to bring closure to these cases,” according to Lester Smith, the victim’s uncle.
The family will be hosting a “Stop the Violence” rally where McGee was killed at the Woodlawn Terrace apartments. The event will be Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 4:00 p.m.
