RAYTOWN, Mo. - The person responsible for killing four people including two children is still on the loose. Family and friends asked for help at a candlelight vigil held Saturday night just yards from the murder scene.

"Help Us Catch A Monster" that's the request printed on the fliers that featured all four murder victims.

The pictures include those of 10-year-old Amir Clemons and 7-year-old Gerard Clemons.

Many of the Amir's teammates attended the vigil. Two of their coaches presented a jersey to the family, honoring the young boy.

Community activist Alvin Brooks is helping the family deal with their loss.

"God don't need no murder to bring nobody home to him, so lets not blame god for these kinds of acts," said Brooks.

Two adults, 21-year-old Precious Triplett and her boyfriend, 33-year-old Andre Jones were also killed.

Thursday night, police executed a search warrant in connection with the quadruple murder investigation.

Community activist Alvin Brooks is optimistic that justice will prevail.
"Mark my words, by the middle of next week the person responsible for this crime will be in custody, and you will know, we will know who he is, mark my word," said Brooks.

Visitation for Triplett and the Clemons boys will be held on Sunday from 4 to 8 p.m. at St. James United Methodist Church.

The church is located at 56th and Wayne. The funeral will be on Monday at 11 a.m., also at St. James Church.

Visitation for Andre Jones is from 9 to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, March 24, followed by his funeral services.
