Owen Maseuli, father of 30-year-old Leevi Maseuli who was shot and killed on Father's Day, says he still cannot accept what happened as a reality.
To the world, the victim was 30-year-old Leevi Maseuli, but to his father, Owen, he was his little boy. Owen Maseuli said that his son got in with the wrong crowd around high school, but after he became a father, Leevi's whole life changed. His mother said that he had just purchased a home that he was trying to fix up. He was also working to join the the construction workers union to provide a better life for his children. At around 8:45 p.m.
Leevi's mother told CBSLA that he spent the day at the park with his children. Then, his son said that he was hungry and that's when he hopped in the car, but before they could get to a restaurant, Leevi was shot. He later died at a local hospital. "I've never been in this situation, so it's not hitting me yet. I mean, I don't even feel like he's gone," Owen said.
Long Beach Police have so far not given out a suspect description or motive, but the Maseuli family said they are preparing reward money for information leading to an arrest and conviction.
