ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The families of Jaquayla Young and Jarvis Alexander honored their memories one year after a mass shooting on Pennsylvania Avenue in Rochester took both of their lives and injured 14 others.

Young's family came to Pennsylvania Avenue on Sunday to pray.

Candice Howard, Young's sister-in-law, says she will never forget Jaquayla's humor and caring personality

Although honoring Young's memory with prayer helped bring some peace, the pain of loss hasn't gotten any easier for Howard and the rest of the family.

"I feel like she is stuck at school, stuck at college and you are waiting for here to come,” Howard said. “We just want to see her face. We just want to be near here and someone just took her. It hurts to say that she is gone. We just really want her back, but nothing is going to bring her back."

Rochester Police Capt. Frank Umbrino says they have made progress in their investigation into the shooting within the last year, but still need the community's help in order to make an arrest in the murders of Young and Alexander.

"We have a very good idea of what happened and who was involved,” Umbrino explained. “But it's a combination of additional people coming forward and talking about and testifying what they saw. And when we need to tie that in with physical evidence that was recovered at the scene, which we also need to connect with evidence from the Medical Examiner's Office."

Howard hopes someone comes forward to help provide their family closure.

"She didn't have to die,” Howard said. “Whether they feel they can't tell no one or they feel afraid, like do an anonymous tip. It won't bring Quayla back, but at least it will give us some sort of closure to know. She didn't get a chance to get married, she didn't get a chance to go to college. She couldn’t even start her own family. We just really want someone to say something."

Alexander's family, meanwhile, hosted a celebration of life at Westgate Park.
