As some of you may have read in another post, on July 25th, my little brother was assaulted. Exactly one month ago, he left this world.
You can read the official story here:

Here are the details as I know them. (I wasn't actually there so excuse me if anything is incorrect.)
My friends went to a party way out in Fairfield. (They were invited by the birthday girl herself.) When they got there, they took a quick walk around inside,drank a couple shots, and walked back outside to smoke. When one of them was lighting a cigarette for the other, the lighter started acting up. Someone triedto walk through them and got upset and words were exchanged from both sides. My friends drove 40 minutes to get there, so they started trying to calm thingsdown. They started apologizing and tryin' to just squash the whole business. (Police supposedly have a witness that said they saw my brother saying"We don't want to fight") While my friends were trying to apologize, someone from the other side blindsided them with a bottle. From there, allhell broke loose. My boys all ran out to their cars and realized they left someone behind. Some of them went back in to get everyone that was left. Whenthat group was leaving, apparently my brother was grabbed (unknown to everyone else). When my boys realized what had happened, they went back in and got himout. By then the damage was already done. The car with him started driving away (while people were throwing bottles and all sorts of other stuff at the car)when they were stopped by police.
Now the problem is, it has been a month, and the police aren't doing anything.
We heard the police had taken 2 people into custody and we were satisfied with that for now. What we recently learned is that one of the people taken intocustody was one of my homies (The driver that got the DUI in the news story who was released the next morning.) and the other was released because thereisn't enough information.
Speaking from the side of the deceased, I can tell you that the police are NOT making an effort to get our side of the story. NONE of my boys have spoken tothe police or anything. No questions about what happened. No pointing out faces. Nothing.
THESE PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER.
I'm asking you for help because I know that police work a lot better when there is pressure put on them. I've seen the power of the internet (as seenin this thread: http://niketalk.com/topic/200414) and I just want my homie to rest peacefully knowingthat his passing did not happen unnoticed.
