“I just want people to put themselves in my shoes. I lost my brother. My mama had two kids, now she only has one,” said Kenneshia.
Weeks after the shooting, the family said they are still waiting for answers. Kenneshia Bronson is urging the person who was with her brother at the time of the shooting to come forward and help investigators identify the suspect.
“To the person who was there with my brother, I really hope you can come forward and be a man and just tell me what happened,” said Kenneshia.

She says the lack of arrests has made the loss even harder as the new year approaches.
“I don’t want to go into the New Year knowing that this boy is still walking around and my brother is not,” said Kenneshia.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said the investigation remains active. Detectives are working to identify the suspect and the black SUV seen in the video. Anyone with information is urged to contact JSO at 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
