One year later

"Pretty hard, pretty difficult. I never lived a life without Kenny," said Kayla Davidson, Kenny's sister. "I never imagined my mom having to bury her baby boy. I never imagined losing my brother."
In February, the Kenosha Police Department joined the family in a call to the community – asking anyone with information about what happened to come forward. It has been four months since, and the family said they still have not heard anything: No details, no arrests, no closure.
"I'm hoping the police are still doing their job, and they're looking into what happened, and there's video, and there's pictures, and they're still talking to people," said McKenzie.

"It don't matter if it's tomorrow, a year from now, five years from now, 10 years from now – my brother's going to get justice one way or another," said Kayla Davidson.
Kenosha police did not immediately respond to FOX6's request for comment on the investigation Saturday.
Remembering Davidson
What you can do:
The family has since hosted a color run, fundraisers and balloon releases in Kenny Davidson's memory. They started a GoFundMe to raise money to help pay for Kenny Davidson's headstone.
