DAYTON, Ohio -- Family and friends of a paralyzed Air Force veterans, brutally killed, visited the site where his body was found on Wednesday.
William Boykin, 66, was found slain inside his own van that was parked in an alley off Ferguson Ave..
Today, family members continued voicing their hope that those responsive will come forward.
At an afternoon prayer vigil, the victim's brother spoke out. He said Boykin was paralyzed from the waist down after back surgery so he was defenseless.
Paul Boykin said, "I kinda wish I could have been with him, then they would have found two in the van instead of one. I would have been back to back with him. i feel like my brother was that way. If it was one of us, he would have stayed with us through thick and thin."
Family members believe Boykin was murdered over money that he had saved to give his 16 grandchildren for Christmas.
"We just hope this thing doesn't happen anymore. We have to start caring for one another instead of destroying one another," said Paul Boykin.
