people stomping, kicking, and punching lee while he lay motionless on the kitchen floor. he was then stabbed. but instead of calling 911 for help, his friends reportedly put him in the car and drove him bleeding back to his townhouse where they placed him in bed. last week police went to serve a search warrant on this townhouse looking for possible evidence connected to the attack. the front door at that home still ajar. one of lee's friends tells me at the party were some gang members and that lee might have angered one of them when he tried to defend a young woman a few days earlier. as police continue the investigation, hundreds came together a week ago for the funeral to mourn the loss of steven lee. the youth group reports on his facebook page that lee was a volunteer and a small group leader. one of his closest friends has set up this gofundme page to raise money to help his family through this
