McKenzie's Murderer Still Out There , Not Enough Evidence to Charge
posted (September 1, 2016)
And switching now to crime news, Police are back at square one in George Mckenzie Jr murder case. Two men were detained but had to be released because there was not enough evidence or any witness statements directly linking them to the murder. Police say they will continue to investigate and follow leads. Now that is not something Mckenzie's mother Melissa Major wants to hear, she wants justice for her son! In fact, she has always been asking for justice for her son while he was alive, because according to one of several interviews Major has done with the media, she claims that the police targeted her son many times and treated him unfairly just because he was the son of gang figure "Junie Balls". Here is that April 2014 interview where Major tried to clear her son's name.

Melissa Major - Mother of George McKenzie Jr.
"I think they are harassing my son just because of his name that he carries, George McKenzie. I had already done a human interest story concerning these same police officers. One set of police officers harassing my son and this same police office have a big role to play in this case. And like I told them that yes this is "Junie Balls" child, George McKenzie Jr., but he is not "Junie Balls," he is someone totally different. Not because his father did this and that that's means that he has to take the licking for his father. His father is already dead and gone; whatever he was supposed to do leave it for God for God to be his judge. Don't judge my son on earth because he carries his father name; It's totally two different people."

Again, that interview from 2014.

Mckenzie Jr was stabbed to death early Sunday morning as he danced at a Soca concert.
