Trey Johnston Wiki – Trey Johnston Biography
The family of a popular 16-year-old stabbing victim from Coffs Harbor have mourned a young life cut short as they call for community support. A 17-year-old man was charged with murder on Monday after a 16-year-old, who can now be identified as Trey Johnston, was fatally stabbed on a beach north of Coffs Harbor over the weekend. Trey’s aunt, Billee-Jo, has since started an online fundraiser to support the youngster’s mother, stating that she was a popular and much-loved member of the community.
“Unfortunately, we lost our beautiful boy on Sunday to a horrific stabbing at Corindi Beach,” she said. “Trey was a beautiful, smart and intelligent boy who had his whole life ahead of him, and now we only have memories. “Trey was well known in our community and was loved by many. “Through this difficult time, we are trying to come together as a family to support each other, but especially our sister Rikki and Trey’s brothers during this traumatic time.
“We are hoping to raise $15,000 to cover the cost of a funeral/wake and also be able to cover Rikki’s daily expenses to help her recover.” Supporters shared their thoughts for Trey, with one saying: “I can’t imagine the pain his family is going through. We are heartbroken for them.” The fundraiser has so far raised nearly $17,000.
