"It brings back a lot of memories of the night. Seeing the turnout and support helps out a lot," Joss' father, Kevin, said.

"He deserves some justice and I'm just asking anyone to come forward if you know anything. Please," he added.

Joss' aunt, Denise Malver, said she often comes to put flowers at the corner.

"Cody was the kind of person who never had a bad word to say about anybody. You never saw him without a smile," she said.

The investigation continues and police are asking anyone with information to call investigators at204-986-6271or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
