Murrow's body was pulled from the Brazos River in May. Two people remain jailed in connection with his murder. To honor his memory, Murrow's family held a memorial ride on Saturday, which would have been his 33rd birthday.

His sister Jerusalem Lightfoot, explained how she felt the day she received the call about Murrow's death.

“It didn’t seem real. It still doesn’t seem real. It’s like a fever dream," Lightfoot said.

The ride from Fuddruckers to the Brazos River expresses love for Murrow and helps in healing for family and friends.

“He knows how much we care about him and how much we miss him. We have been leaning on God and also leaning on each other a lot," said Lightfoot.

“He was one of the people that would go out of this way, to stop what he was doing. Anytime I needed him he would pull up," said Carbajal.
