Messages sent but no responses expected
Every day, he and his mother would send each other a good morning text.
His mother wanted to keep him from the hectic life in Richmond County, Georgia so he moved to live with his grandmother in the small city of Thomson. There, he seemed on the right track and always kept up with his mother.
Daekwon Jacorbian Hines, 17, was found dead in the woods behind his grandmother’s house, on May 14, 2018, three days after being reported missing. He was killed execution-style with a black bag over his head. After his death, his mother continued to send him good morning texts, expecting no response.
