The man, later identified as 29-year-old Justin Cox, was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

The victim’s sister-in-law told News 6 she’s still searching for answers.

“Who did it? Why isn’t anybody coming forward?” she said. “Somebody has to know something, right?”

She said she wants someone to come forward if they know something.

“If I could say anything to them, I wish I could forgive you, but in my heart, I can’t forgive you,” she said. “You took my brother. You stood over him and you killed him.”

The investigation is ongoing as detectives say they continue to search for leads in the case.
