Family seeks answers nearly a year after Raleigh murder
RALEIGH (WTVD) -- A Raleigh family and members of a local motorcycle club gathered outside of the home where 42-year-old Terrance Rondell Bryant was found shot to death a little more than 10 months ago to pray and request the public's help to find his murderer.
"Two days ago 10 and we still aren't any closer today than we were three months ago," Bryant's Fiancee Bianca Long told ABC11.
Police found Bryant's body outside of his home in the 1200 block of Blarney Court in southest Raleigh on December 7 at about 5:30 a.m.
"We just want someone to come forward and give the police the necessary information so we can move on with the next stage in our healing," said Bryant's cousin Jeff Carmen, who described the two's relationship as more of a brotherhood.
Bryant was a father of two and a recent grandfather who was also a barber. Relatives describe him as an excellent father, friend and husband who always rooted for the underdog and encouraged others.
"He was the light of all of our eyes. He always had something positive to say no matter how negative the situation was surrounding us, we could call Terrance and he'd say well let's look at the bright side," said Carmen.
Bryant was also an avid motorcyclist affiliated with the "Gettin Ugly Riders" club.
"I thank you all for standing by me now as I need you each day," Bryant's sister Demeka Hines said after several fellow members who attended what was his family's second vigil released balloons when it concluded.
