FOX 2 (WJBK) - The family of Dalonta Dawson is desperate for justice after his murder at a party last summer.

The suspect in the case knew Dawson's name and also attempted to steal his eyeglasses. He was 23 years old.
His mother Lisa Hines spoke at a recent Crime Stoppers press conference asking for justice.
"Please come forward. The person that did that to my son doesn't know what they did to me - they actually broke me," she said. "I can't function, I can't do anything without him. That was my baby son. (He) just turned 23."
She added that Dalonta had just become a father.
"He didn't even get a chance to see his daughter. He was so happy to become a father," she said. "Please help me get justice for my son."
