Jovan’s family is finally speaking out on his murder-suicide by saying they are ‘overwhelmed with both sadness and confusion.’ Read on for their full statement.
Kansas City Chiefs player Jovan Belcher murdered his girlfriend Kasandra Perkins in front of his mother Cheryl Shepherd after he reportedly assumed she was having an affair with R&B singer Trey Songz! After shooting the mother of his child dead, Jovan drove to Arrowhead stadium and killed himself in Kansas City on Dec. 1. His family has now released an official statement regarding the horrific situation.
Jovan’s family released a statement to TMZ saying:
“As a family, no words can express the sorrow we feel over the loss of Jovan and Kasandra. The impact that this inconceivable tragedy has had on our heart is immeasurable; we are overwhelmed with both sadness and confusion. Jovan was our son, brother, uncle, cousin, nephew, grandson, and friend and we will miss him and Kasandra dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Perkins family as they mourn. We loved Jovan. His kindness, humility, respect and gratitude for family and friends were steadfast. The man we know and loved for 25 years embraced life and excelled at all he put his energy behind. Jovan was overjoyed when Kasandra gave birth to their daughter, Zoey. He was happy to be a new father both he and Kasandra loved Zoey greatly. The immense outpouring of sympathy and support from Jovan’s friends, teammates, coaches and fans have been a reflection of the impact he had on so many people. Like them, we will cherish the wonderful memories we have of Jovan and we pray that those memories will bring us peace as we grapple to understand the unpredictable and tragic ending of his life and the life of Kasandra Perkins. As we attempt to grieve in the aftermath of this tremendous loss we ask that you please respect our privacy in doing so. Only GOD can mend our hearts. Our thoughts are with Jovan and Kasandra’s family and friends at this difficult time.”
Our thoughts go out to Jovan and Kasandra’s family and friends at this difficult time.
