Young Tatiana Kirby cried until she couldn't cry anymore last Monday night after an angry man attending a party next door pumped several bullets into the body of her father, Pastor Tim Kirby, 46, after he asked them to turn down the music.
"It was devastating. I cried for a minute, and then it was like I couldn't cry no more," the young girl told WDIV 4 of her father's untimely death in Detroit, Mich.
"He was a good father. He was always a caring person. Every Sunday we were always in church. He always made sure we had clothes, good clothes on our backs, food on the table," she said.
According to local police, Kirby's neighbors were hosting a big party complete with loud music and screaming when he left his apartment to ask them to tone down the noise.
Upset by the pastor's request, a group of men turned the encounter into a full blown confrontation and began shouting at him. One of them got so incensed during the dispute that he shot the man of God three times. His lifeless body was left to stain the cement outside his apartment building while his shocked family and friends descended into mourning.
"I was laying on the couch and I heard gunshots around 11:30," said a neighbor. "I never thought that it was Tim. Never. Never crossed my mind."
"When I received the news it was like wow, unbelievable that a preacher, a pastor, someone would do that type of thing to him," Kirby's longtime friend Pastor Berry Loston Jr. of Prophetic Corner Deliverance Ministries International said in an interview with The Christian Post on Monday.
"I'm trying to really grab hold of what has transpired because it's just like mind-blowing, seriously. And it's like really what can you say? It's a lot of emotions in the air," he added.
Right now, explained Loston, "the family is heartbroken and looking for answers."
Kirby, a well-known member of his community and a fiery preacher was in the process of organizing a new church, according to Loston.
"We were brothers in Christ," Loston explained as he prepared to officiate at Kirby's funeral slated for Monday evening.
"I've been knowing him since we were teenagers coming up in church. He was a great supporter always shouting, praising and dancing during the service."
As of Monday morning, the Detroit police told The Christian Post that there had been no new updates since Kirby's murder. His young daughter, however, is hoping her father gets justice.
"I hope my daddy gets justice because he didn't deserve this," Tatiana told WDIV 4.
Where are Al and Jesse? Can we count on them being all over this in a few minutes?
Build a fence around Detroit and give the people one month to get out then close and lock the gate. Let the animals kill each other.
This is the evil that the left and democrats have built... they put it together one piece at a time... they encouraged it and they fomented it... all for power and money. They will ALL burn in hell for their crimes against man and GOD!

Justice for Trayvon!
I have prayed for the man and his family and friends. May they find peace and may the murderers find hell hot.
It breaks my heart to see what’s become of Detroit. This poor child lost what I presume to be a good father.
Why?
Because liberals have coddled the urban black culture and allowed it to become the breeding ground for sociopathic animals.
I see the community has come together to fail to identify the perpetrator who murdered the Reverend in the street.
Finally, we get to hear the crickets!
The thugs felt dissed - so they killed a pastor.
Gun control will fix this.
I am certain CNN, Oprah, Sharpton, Jackson, Schultz, and Obama will be all over this for many weeks to come.
How would Glover get out? He is always complaining that taxis won’t stop for him because he’s Black! Personally I think all the race baiters like him should have to stay in Detroit, the society they helped to build.
“Damn”, sings the National MSM Choir, “we wish da killas wuz crackas!”
"In Obama's America, we all got it comin."
“His lifeless body was left to stain the cement outside his apartment building”
For how long? Where were the police? Where was an ambulance? Have there been any arrests?
It’s come to this. It’s coming our way.
Prayers for that poor girl.
Detroit......becoming a city near you.
