An Atlanta mother is raising money to increase the amount of a reward fund set up by the police that she hopes will lead to someone stepping forward with information about the person suspected of murdering her 24-year-old twin sons.
"It was my family today. We don't want it to be your family tomorrow," the twins' aunt, Washunda Holman, told Fox 5 Atlanta.
The present reward fund is $2,000, but the family plans to raise $10,000 more and add to it. The murder had taken place last summer at a South Fulton gas station. The family is hoping that the cumulative amount of $12,000 should get the people talking.
"In a way we're still living in a dream. We are on an emotional roller coaster," Holman said, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.
South Fulton police have identified Zachary Hardwick, 23, as a suspect in the murders, according to Fox 5 Atlanta. Hardwick is being sought by US Marshals for a series of charges, including double homicide, aggravated assault and armed robbery. The loved ones of the twins have now spent almost a year of sleepless nights in confusion and anger. "Mom, not losing one, but two of [her] babies brought into this world together, left this world together. It's very heartbreaking," Holman told Fox 5 Atlanta.
The loved ones of the twins insist the brothers didn't know their alleged killer, describing Erin as the laid-back one and Eriq as an entrepreneur who loved to cook. "They were just alike but different in so many different angles," Holman went on to say. If anyone has any information regarding the suspect, they are to call either the South Fulton Police Department or Crime Stoppers Atlanta.
