Now, the older brother of one of the victims says his family won\u2019t rest until justice is served.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to 7News on Friday, Oscar Contreras, family member of the victim, 20-year-old Cristian Contreras, said it has been a tough few months and the family has gotten few answers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom what we know, it was two shots. Those were the two shots that killed Kevin [Ramirez] and my brother Cristian,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said nobody can begin to heal until someone is held responsible for the murder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeone knows what happened. Someone knows who did it, and they just don\u2019t want to come out and say anything,\u201d said Oscar.<\/p>\n<p>The two victims, who were barbers and best friends, were found dead inside the apartment located on West 35th Way on July 29. Oscar says the family has been looking for updates from police, but two and a half months later, details remain limited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have no lead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Oscar said his little brother was doing what he loved, working hard and building a name for himself in the barber business, when his life was cut short.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was just pursuing his dream, he wasn\u2019t messing with no one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also says the motive behind the killings remains a mystery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to let this case die down,\u201d said Oscar.<\/p>\n<p>This past Monday, the family gathered for Cristian\u2019s 21st birthday at the site of his final resting place.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve since started an Instagram page in an effort to get help from the community and justice for Cristian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomeone has to know something in that complex,\u201d said Oscar. \u201cThat\u2019s the hard part right now. We know that people know something, but they are just not speaking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He wants someone to be caught before another person is killed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to get these people off the streets because it could happen to someone else,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any information on this crime, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
