The Greensboro Police Department has arrested a suspect, David Lee White Jr. The 21-year-old was charged with first-degree murder and remains in custody without bond, according to E! News.
Fantasia’s brother, Ricco Barrino, mourned the tragic loss of his son. “I wanted you to know that from the depths of my heart your daddy loves you and he always has,” he wrote. “I remember holding you for the first time that’s when I knew that I had to do something other than work in somebody’s factory so that one day you could look up to me. As I write this letter with tears streaming down my face I want you to know that I showed you tough love because I knew you were something special.”
