The family of the victim says the boys were known for hanging out in the alley area behind the man’s property.
“The kids have been chilling here for a while and coming here frequently. Why wouldn’t you have done something a while ago? Why would you come to the point where you have to shoot to kill?” asked Jimmy Harrison, the brother of Javier.
The family grieved and prayed during the vigil before releasing red and blue balloons in the boy’s honor.
According to family members, Henderson and Harrison were best friends and both were fond of making music.
Javier’s brother says he plans to create something positive out of the tragedy of his brother’s death.
