Family members said they had a bad feeling about the two men going out so late at night to collect money. And that night, instead of Price and Hullum returning home, Myrtis Price said she received a call from a man trying to disguise his voice. The man told her he was holding her grandson for a $5,000 ransom. "I told him I didn't have it," Price said. On Wednesday, police were called about 3:20 p.m. to the 7100 block of South Oakley Avenue for a well-being check on a man inside a car, said Officer Daniel O'Brien, a police spokesman. Police found a body in the back seat of the white, two-door Chevy Camaro and discovered another body in the trunk, police said. Robinson said when she got to the scene, she saw Hullum's body in the back seat, his feet and hands bound with his own shoelaces. Price was found in the truck with his feet and hands bound too. Both men appeared to have been beaten, family said. On Thursday morning, Myrtis Price said her grandson was a hard-working man who "would work 10 days a week" if he could. She said he was generous to a fault. "He was a friendly guy. He loved people," she said. "He lent people money. He tried to help everybody, and people took advantage of him." Shante Hullum said she wanted the world to know her son was not a thug or a street person, but a person who was loved by his family. "That was my boy," Hullum said. "I want justice."
