Family Mourns Slain Son

WILMINGTON -- Police are investigating the death of a man whose body was found in an alley Saturday.

Ronald Nathan Conyers Jr. was found dead in the 300 block of 16th Street. He appeared to have been shot.

Conyers lived just a few blocks from where authorities found his body.

His family said Conyers dreamed of moving out west and starting a music career. Now his loved ones are hoping for justice.

"You killed his body but you haven't killed his spirit," said Conyers' mother, Samantha Buchanon. "My son's murderer will be caught."
