Family Pleads for Justice: Just do what is right
Janesha Sellers, the cousin of Julian Comeaux, is seeking justice for her beloved family member, who was tragically killed.
Julian’s mother had been told she couldn’t have children, making Julian a miracle to his family.
The family is now planning Julian’s funeral, a heartbreaking turn of events for a young man who had a promising future ahead. Julian was set to enlist in the Navy, following in his mother’s footsteps.
Janesha Sellers remembered Julian’s kind and compassionate nature, saying, “Julian was the type of person who would approach someone doing something wrong and try to guide them in the right direction. He had a heart of gold.”
Sellers expressed her devastation, saying, “No mother should have to lose a child. I just want justice for my baby.”
The family is making an appeal for anyone with information about the shooter to come forward. “Just do what’s right,” urged Janesha Sellers. “Put yourself in our shoes. If this was your loved one, wouldn’t you want justice?”
Police urge anyone with information to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers of Houston at 713-222-TIPS.
