On January 11, 2011 at 4:27 P. M. a knock on my door and two Harford County [MD] Sheriff's entered my home. They asked, "Do you have a son named Justin DeSha-Overcash?" I had barely said, "yes."; when the male quickly added, "Your son has been shot and killed."

If you have never lost a child [or loved one] to Violence; no words I type will adequately explain what this moment has done to me. Hearing this nightmarish news; I went into denial. "No, No you're wrong; no, not my Justin, I'll call him you'll see." My son's cell rang and rang. I knew [then] the sheriff's spoke the truth; my son [my only child] was dead, Questions developed in my mind at an unbelievable rate of speed. I could not [still cannot] grasp or process my beautiful son was MURDERED?

Justin, 22 y.o., dbl major, at UMd [College Park], Physics and Astronomy/dbl minors Geophysics and Math, 4 months remaining until graduation beginning in 15 days. On Justin's death he possessed 176 credits and UMd awarded his diploma posthumously. The college also honored Justin with a scholarship for Justin's hard work and dedication, "The Justin DeSha-Overcash Summer Research Award".

My son was murdered by a Prince George's County, MD career criminal wearing an ankle monitor received in DC for a Felony II Handgun Charge~22 days [before murdering Justin]. He was also on a parole violation for a 2009 charge in PG County, MD where he murdered Justin.

Career criminals feel empowered, entitled, and they stand beside you at cross walks, walk behind your child on sidewalks and are in line with you and your family attending entertainment venues. Career criminals do not care about [life] are YOU or a loved one NEXT?

Justin saved 2 alumnus the media was never informed of Justin's self sacrifice and bravery thus this fact [never] appeared in any news sources!
