A 40-year-old suspect is being sought in connection to the murder of Mar’Quis 'MJ' Jackson in Philadelphia's Nicetown neighborhood.
The victim was left in the backyard for more than 12 hours, according to authorities.
Family members of Jackson, as well as transgender murder victim Shahere "Diamond" Jackson-McDonald, called for justice during the presser. "Gender should never matter," Jackson's sister said. "Nothing about gender or what this person does in their daily lives should be a reason for you to kill someone, and to leave them outside stripped of their clothes, of their shoes, and to beat them to death."Officials say arrests warrants were issued for Mitchell in January for murder, abuse of corpse and tampering with evidence. He is considered "armed and dangerous," according to authorities.
