FORT PAYNE, Ala. (WHNT) — A mother in Fort Payne continues to demand justice two years after her son, Jamari Moore, was killed and his body dumped in Sauty Creek on the Jackson and Marshall County border.
Tommorow Betton said no one has been arrested, and she and her family will not stop until someone is captured and brought to justice.
“Whoever took a hand in my son’s life, I want them behind bars, and I just can’t understand for the life of me why, if you know who committed a murder, why are these people still free?” said Betton.
In August 2023, Jackson County deputies say Moore was found wrapped in a plastic bag and his body was found with cement blocks tied to his body.
His death was ruled a homicide due to blunt force trauma to the head, but no arrests have been made in the case.
“It’s sickening and I’m begging the Department of Justice to step in and do something about this because my baby’s life mattered,” said Betton. “What they did to my son was heinous, sickening and just sickening, and I’m going to keep putting it out there.”
Deen Muhammad, Moore’s uncle, says that the family is ready to start healing, and the case needs to be solved. He says the family was informed last year by investigators that they are looking into people of interest in the case.
“Even if they had an inkling of someone doing it, why haven’t they been interrogated? An interrogation leads to a confession. They could have done that by now, and this case would have been closed,” Muhammad said. “Jamari is not going to go unremembered; Jamari is not going to go without justice; he’s not going to go without some kind of outcome where we can see justice in it.”
Efforts to reach investigators have been unsuccessful.
