Missing mother of 10 found dead in car trunk, police say [Video]

MILWAUKEE (WTMJ) – A man was taken into custody after Milwaukee police found the body of a missing woman in the trunk of a car.

Authorities believe Tomitka Stewart’s death is related to domestic violence.

“My momma been fighting for her life for a long time,” Lawrence Lejon-Jurnett, Stewart’s son, said.

The 22-year-old stood at a vigil on Thursday in front of his late mother’s home, surrounded by friends and family.

“You’re never supposed to hurt a woman,” Lejon-Jurnett added.

Lejon-Jurnett is now grieving the woman he said was always there for others.

“If I could say something to my momma right now, I would say that, ‘I love you and I care about you, mom, and I want you back,’” Lejon-Jurnett said. “I don’t want you to be gone and away from us.”
