The body of 25 year old Kenroy Parham was found dead on Saturday morning in Mahogany Heights. He was discovered on the side of the road by his aunt- just across from his family residence. The father of 3 was shot had been shot three times to the back and head.
Neighbors say they heard the shots just after 9 on Friday night but no one went outside to see what was happening. So far police have one suspect detained and many believe that Parham's death was retaliation for the death of Emmerson Arnold - the BWS worker who was gunned down 14 hours earlier while on his way to work.
Today 7news spoke with his family to find out what they know.

Monica Bodden
"He never said to you that his life maybe in danger?"
Lauren Williams - Cousin of Deceased

"I understand just Friday he got out of jail?"
Lauren Williams - Cousin of Deceased
"Yes, like one week he is out."
Sandra Ramclam - Aunt of Deceased
"We heard he died from 10pm in the night - nobody sees and nobody knows. My sister Wendy, she and one of her close friends, they came in the morning early and a young man that we heard say that he saw from the night, but he didn't say anything. He called the family friend and tell her that there is a body down there and she ask where, then she picked up the phone and call 911. My sister went over at the family house to see if he (Kenroy) is there. She came back and she look in the drain because somebody told her that a body was down there and when she looked, she yelled out and said that is Kenroy. When she went to the house where he was staying, the family member told her that he didn't come last night."

"Miss Sandra, you think his death was some form of retaliation for the young man who they killed on Friday?"

"Rumors is saying that, but we don't know. As far as I am concern, I raise him and I don't know him as anybody bad."
Kenroy Parham was the father of 3 - his oldest child is Reyven Dyer the abducted baby of Raylene Dyer. She's the 18 year old mother who was decapitated and dumped in a river when her child was stolen in 2010. So now, Reyven has lost both her biological parents to murder.
