COGIC Pastor Beaten To Death in Massachusetts
Assistant Pastor Lee Harmon of the Church of God in Christ in Roxbury was viciously beaten with a hammer while on his way to bring food to his daughter and her cat.
Authorities say Harmon was suffering from “what appeared to be massive head wounds, as well as a large gash in his right lower arm,” when witnesses found him in a parking lot at 120 Clinton Street about 8:40 p.m., prosecutors said. “Witnesses indicated they heard a crash and commotion, including breaking of glass. They then heard a verbal confrontation,” prosecutors said. Harmon’s grandson, Jamaine Santos, 28, said Harmon was known in the neighborhood for riding his bike. “He would find things to do,” Santos said. “Everybody knew him. He said hi to everyone.” Harmon — whose birthday was Monday — was pronounced dead at a local hospital, and an autopsy has been scheduled to determine Harmon’s manner and cause of death. State police and Brockton police are investigating.The 74 year old man was married for 54 years and was a kind and loving man who never had a bad thing to say about anyone and helped so many people in his community. Suspects are still on the run and have not been identified. Watch news report on video below:
