Family and Loved Ones In Shock After Trevor Lee’s Alleged Heinous Act
Trevor Lee’s disturbing action of taking the lives of his parents, Brandi and David, has shocked the community.
His best friend since elementary school, Kyree Beamon, said that he didn’t initially believe that Trevor Lee could do anything like that.
Beamon expressed his sorrow and told News4JAX:
“They were probably the best, or one of the best families, I knew. They were funny, and they treated me very well. They told me all the time that they loved me like a son, and they treated me as such.”

Beamon further added that Trevor and he played on the same football team, and just a few days back, Trevor and his late dad, David, gave him a ride to and from practice.
He also said that Trevor Lee called him the day he killed his parents, although he didn’t say much, he told Beamon that he loved him and told him that he was just calling to tell him goodnight.
Beamon stated that he wasn’t sure if Lee called him before or after he called 911.
One of Brandi’s friends took to her Facebook to express her sorrow and wrote:
“Oh Brandi Smith-Lee💔💔💔Our friendship blossomed out of pure chaos, which truly made me treasure u.I can’t believe this shit mane. I love u, girl 🥺😔😢.”

“This lil boy gives me pure hell. Everything I did to my parents, I’m getting it back times 10. Y’all keep us lifted up in prayer.”
However, despite several assumptions, Trevor Lee has yet to share his statement.
Brandi’s brother, Trevor Lee’s uncle Michael D. Smith, also took to his Facebook to express his sorrow at losing his beloved sister and brother-in-law.
“Please pray for my family as we go through this season of transition for my beautiful sister, Brandi Smith-Lee and her husband, David Lee. Their memories will forever be cherished in our hearts.”
