The family of 37-year-old Brandon Holcomb want justice for the son, brother and father who was shot and killed on Eaverson Street on Sept. 26.

The family of 37-year-old Brandon Holcomb is now searching for answers as to who killed the son, brother and father.

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, around 8 p.m. on Sept. 26, officers arrived to Eaverson Street near downtown Jacksonville and found Holcomb dead with multiple gunshot wounds.

It's the day everything changed for Ericka Kohn and her family.

"I’m not doing good," said Kohn. "It’s not a day that goes by that I’m not having a hard time. I got a phone call at 9:20 saying that B boy had been killed."

Since receiving the life altering news, Holcomb's family has come together pleading with whoever's responsible to turn themselves in.

"If you out there and you’re listening to me and my family and my kid,s I’m not mad. I did want revenge at first but I had to sit down and realize the revenge is not mine it belongs to God. Turn yourself in, I don’t wish death upon you I’m not mad, I just want to get justice for my son," said Kohn.

Holcomb leaves behind a five-year-old daughter. 

"I love my daddy because he loves me so much," said Brielle Holcomb, Brandon's daughter.

"Give his little girl closure because he not only is leaving behind a mom, two brothers and a sister," said Kohn. "He is leaving behind a 5-year old daughter who walked in my home and seen her daddy on a prop and said ‘Hey daddy I miss you where you been.”

"He loved his family and he loved his daughter he was a good person," said Brandi Tyler, Brandon's sister.

Brandon's cousin, Pamela Williams, wants the violence in the city to end after losing two of her kids to gun violence in Jacksonville. 

"It’s a sad situation," said Williams "For anybody to lose a child and these people walking around like it’s OK to take someone's life. Our kids supposed to be burying us, not us burying our kids and I just want the community to come together, and stop being scared to tell."

"If you know anybody involved, please, please tell them to do what’s right for me and my family," said Ericka Kohn. 

According to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, this is still an active investigation.
