This needs to be updated. Topixinet yesterday reported 2 persons on interest questioned. Thanks to all who have contributecd to funeral and having body sent back to El Salvador, possible by Monday.
9/30 Family still waiting more information. He was new in area. I do not feel it was anything like a gang problem as they leave signature evidence. Other ideas? Burglary, he had just walked home alone. Did a new admirer cause jealousy? He had only been in area about 2 months. Family planning to send body back to ElSalvador. Thanks to all who helped contribute to this cause.
I was lucky to have known Kennar if only for a short time, he was good kid I hope the police find who did this to this young man. especially as why this person shot him.
