FAMAAS was created in loving memory of a young man whose life was taken too soon in Fort Lauderdale in 1996. His murder remains unsolved to this day — a haunting truth that inspired his sister and mother to turn grief into purpose. They founded FAMAAS to shine a light on the epidemic of unsolved murders and support families still waiting for justice.

When a homicide goes cold, the pain doesn’t stop. Families are left in limbo, communities lose trust in justice systems, and potential witnesses stay silent. FAMAAS exists to break that silence — to ensure stories are not forgotten, and families are not left behind.
