'Somebody Is Trying to Kill Me': Bisexual Teen Found Dead After Frantic Phone Call to Mother

An Alabama teenager who was bisexual was found shot to death in a rural area Tuesday night, three days after making a frantic phone call to his mother in which he said someone was trying to kill him.

The body of 19-year-old Nicholas Hawkins was found wrapped in a bloody blanket at an illegal dumpsite near Dora, 25 miles northwest of Birmingham.

Hawkins was returning from a beauty pageant when he phoned his mother at about 8 p.m. Saturday and said Joshua Adam Reese was trying to kill him, but gave no further details before the call cut off, AL.com reports.

Hours before Hawkins' body was found, authorities arrested the 21-year-old Reese on an outstanding unrelated warrant and identified him as a person of interest in Hawkins' murder.

What a horrible story to read. I cannot even imagine the increadible pain and suffering the mother must be going thru right now. Glad to read however that the teen did I'd a person and that that person is in custody. If he is the person who did this atrocious crime I hope he gets life + 100 yrs with no possibility of parole.

RIP to young Mr. Hawkins.
