The shooting was domestic violence-related, and police continue to seek a known suspect.
The family is pleading for the suspect to turn himself in.
What they're saying:
"I had a phone call that my brother got shot and killed by his son," said Karen Stegall, the sister of the victim. "To get here and find out he didn’t shoot him one time, he shot him 10 times…"

Stegall is still processing the crime. She said her brother, 47-year-old Corey Williams, was fatally shot by his teenage son.
On Wednesday, a web of crime scene tape closed off the apartment building.
"I was in the back on my way towards here, and I heard like five shots, and they said six had already ran off," said neighbor Lyahel Avery.
Stegall said her father, uncle and brother have apartments in the building, and recently she said all of her brother's children moved in with him.
The family said the shooting happened in front of the victim's other children.

"The kids had to endure their brother killing their dad," Stegall said. "They know your name. Lil Corey, you need to turn yourself in, baby. Maybe you can get some mental help, but you left your sisters and brothers, and they [are going to] need mental help."

Stegall is urging her nephew to do the right thing as they struggle to understand how this could have happened.
