Family asks for help finding Brandon's killer

The family of Diggs hopes someone with information speaks up. "I'm just begging that God's will be done and that there will be justice for my son's death," says Doris Diggs on April 21.

Six weeks later, she's still looking for an answer to who killed her son.

"If his kids, no matter what they needed or wanted, he would drop everything to go help them," she said. He leaves behind ten kids who, of course, all miss him.

Investigators found the body of Diggs on a park table under the gazebos at Eastlake Park.

"He only came to the park because he had cooked the day before and he was bringing two containers of spaghetti to a person he knew was homeless and he would see at this area," Diggs said.

Her son routinely brought food to those at the park because he loved his community.

Family members want the community to share any possible tips to catch the suspect and continues to remain hopeful the killer comes forward.

"You could just walk down to the Phoenix Police Department and just turn yourself in or have them come and pick you up and turn yourself in. Because maybe now whatever the reason was, you can let it go," Diggs said.
