Personal life

Bullock's sister, Mia Henderson (born Kevin Long), was murdered in Baltimore on July 16, 2014.[25][26] A suspect was arrested in August 2015.[27] In August 2016, Bullock said of his sibling, "He lived as himself, he taught me how to be (myself). He taught me how to take care of the family. . . . He was happy with being who he was. He wasn't worried about how others felt about him. A person that can isolate the whole world out and not care about other people's feelings is a strong person, to me. That was one of the biggest things that I got from him."[28]
