Four-and-a-half months ago, Mark s older brother Andy went to
meet someone in Cameron Village, intending to sell a Range Rover. Justin Fernando Merritt allegedly stole the car and killed Andy - dumping his body in Virginia.
Justin Merritt was charged with stealing an SUV believed to belong to William Andy Banks, Jr. The last few months have been difficult. You expect Andy to be there and he s not and that is a huge absence in the room, Haygood said.
But through the loss, his family and friends are creating good. They ve raised almost $20,000 for the Andy Banks Memorial Scholarship, which benefits NC state athletes. And for Andy s 40th birthday, they re hoping the community will donate $40 in his memory.
