At Tuesday night's Remington community association meeting, president Joan Floyd told residents that detectives have told her they have strong evidence and are closing in on a suspect in the killing of 18-year-old college student Jhoma Blackwell, who was found fatally stabbed inside her home on the afternoon of March 29. "They are not asking us to do anything on this one," Floyd told attendees. "They even used the phrase, 'proceding rapidly."

Floyd pointed residents to this YouTube video posted by Blackwell's family, in which an older sister pleads with people to come forward with tips. It's a rare self-produced look at a family's grief.

"I understand that in times like this, people do want to get involved, they're afraid, they feel its not their business," says a woman who identifies herself as Blackwell's older sister. "Whatever it may be, we strongly implore you ... no matter how trivial you think it is, we encourage you to come forward with the information."

She concludes by saying the family is praying for the people responsible.
