\u201cLook at me. It\u2019s killing me, it\u2019s draining every ounce left in me. It\u2019s tearing me up people,\u201d Willis\u2019 mother, Deborah Willis, said during an emotional plea.<\/p>\n
With courage and unwavering strength, she spoke about her son, Terrance, who was gunned down near the busway and Southwest 184th Street in Miami in May 2021.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was a giver, he was giving anything, he had love and loved God,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff\u2019s Office, Willis was riding a Miami-Dade Transit bus and was seated in the rear when he became involved in a small verbal altercation with someone else on board.<\/p>\n
\u201cTerrance was riding a MD Transits bus and seated in the rear of the bus and was involved in a small verbal altercation with someone in the back of the bus,\u201d Sgt. Pedro Camacho said.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Willis got off the bus and was then shot multiple times.<\/p>\n
Five years later, detectives hope newly released surveillance video will help move the investigation forward. Authorities have identified a person of interest described as a Black male who was between 18 and 25 years old at the time and about 6 feet tall.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is possible that someone who was reluctant, scared or didn\u2019t feel their input could be useful,\u201d lead investigator Detective Oscar Andino said. \u201cAny piece of information could be relevant to this investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
Willis was a father of three and grandfather of one. His family said he was simply on his way home when his life was cut short.<\/p>\n
His mother said she is still searching for answers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t even want you to go to prison. I just want you to talk to me, talk to me. Prison is not gonna help you. I know this,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward. A Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers reward is available for information that leads to an arrest. Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.<\/p>\n
