JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Men Against Destruction Defending Against Drugs and Social Disorder (MAD DADS) is working to get answers about the death of Tradarius Alexander.
It’s been almost a year since police found the teen shot at a Westside bus stop on the 1000 block of Detroit Street.
Alexander’s mother Ralaunda Bray says the loss has not gotten any easier.
Tradarius was 18 years old when someone killed him. The family wants anyone with information to call crimestoppers. His mother said in tears, “If the shoe was on the other foot, I would do it for your family. I would say something.” @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews pic.twitter.com/139pIeUsYD

“I just want justice for my son. It’s not going to bring my son back, but I know my son will have justice,” Bray said.
Last July, we were there as investigators roped off the area looking for evidence.
MAD DADS and members of the Justice Coalition went door to door with flyers and posters, talking to neighbors.
Donald Foy of MAD DADS said, “This family deserves closure before they move on to the next step.”
