“Just an all around genuine, honest, God-fearing man,” she said. 

She said Apostle Frazier, who’s originally from Boston, spent decades preaching around the country and the world – even authoring several books.

Police say multiple warrants are now signed including Murder, Use of a Weapon during a Violent Crime, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
