"The case is still sitting there, they are not doing anything to it," said Reyna.
The Austin Police Department said a family member told them Roberto was swimming in the pool that morning when a car pulled up to the house. The suspect got out, walked toward Roberto. The two exchanged words before the suspect pulled out a gun and shot him.
With no leads, the case went cold. Eva refuses to accept anything but justice.

"They need to investigate the two people, the one that saw the killer. He saw him sharply, and then my son said run and he ran but he said he saw the killer. And the other one too," said Reyna.
