According to the West Palm Beach Sheriff’s office an autopsy was performed and Sears’s death was ruled a homicide.

His brother Dellon Sears speaking with reporters in Florida described Michael as “as a family guy, the glue in their family”

While the Sheriff’s office is “diligently investigating who killed” the thirty-one year old father of three girls, his brother who had kept hoping that Sears would show up is now hoping that the person (s) responsible for his death are caught “so that they’re not allowed to do this to someone else’s family.”

The family which is from Linden has set up a GoFundme account to pay the funeral expenses for Michael even as the police is asking persons who may have information about the homicide death of Michael Sears to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-458-TIPS.
