Family of the sleeping teenager who was killed in Gresham

Milwaukie ore. (KPTV)-the family of the 13-year-old boy who was shot in his father's apartment when she was sleeping asks the suspects named by the police to turn around.

Monday was particularly difficult for Liam Spahnle Bailey's family because it would have been his 14th birthday. While you have put Liam to rest, you are still waiting for justice.

“Instead of planning a celebration for his birthday today, we had to plan his funeral … it is very difficult,” said Liam's mother Jessica Bailey through tears.

Although they are grateful for the support of the support of the community, such as the stronger skate park in Milwaukie, which adds a new mural in honor and sells custom -made skateboards to cover the funeral costs, you cannot yet conclude this chapter.

“We have taken care of his cremation, his funeral and everything we have been doing since his death, but now our focus is on getting justice for Liam,” said Bailey. “Finding the people who have done this and we have received a kind of justice.”

While the police are still looking for these suspects, Liam's family said that their names and faces are now public if they know that they are still running for free, they make them restless.

“I know that I have to struggle to drive along the street or go to the grocery store,” said William Spahnle, Liam's father. “I'm just looking at everyone. 'Are you that?' You know?”
