“I am sorry our own killed you at home, where you supposed to be safe. I am sorry we weren’t there to protect you,” he wrote.

In a statement shared by his brother Patrick Kazadi, the family said they would preserve Christian’s legacy and were distraught by his untimely death that is under investigation.

“The circumstances surrounding his death are devastatingly heartbreaking and under investigation. The family is asking for privacy and patience in this tough time.”
