Monday’s vigil was held outside their family’s Homestead apartment. Dad and mom lit candles, posted photos of their sons and hugged pals who came by to provide their condolences.
Sita Marquez, the victim’s mom, explained to CBS News Miami’s Peter D’Oench,
“I am attempting to get some interior power. My sons experienced their faults but they have been superior young ones. I couldn’t imagine it. It seemed like a aspiration.”
She explained, “I want justice, to discover them guilty to stay clear of hurting another person else. It will not likely provide them back but the only point is we all have young children and brothers. You can not know the suffering we are feeling. We are struggling.”
As he fought back tears, the victims’ father Jose Martinez said, “They never ever did everything wrong. They liked to do fishing and development function. Their aspiration was to get the job done so they could make far more revenue for the relatives.
Picture who desires to drop a kid. You can not imagine how the relatives is emotion.”
“I know they are investigating,” he claimed. “I am not sure what occurred. I am not confident if they have any qualified prospects.”
Miami-Dade law enforcement have not said if they have any qualified prospects or any information to release about a suspect or probable getaway car or a motive in this scenario.
Neighbor Leo Rhodes claimed he was troubled by the capturing.
“That section of the dwelling was vacant,” he explained. “I do not know how they bought in there. It is scary. I could be sitting down on my porch late at evening and someone would occur by and do a travel-by against me.”
