Balloons honor homicide victims

Families and friends mourn the loss of two young men; no one has been charged.

NEW PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — 200 hundred balloons flew over New Philadelphia Little League Tuesday night as family and friends of Hunter Mock and Angelito Caraballo comforted one another after what they say has been a long two weeks.

"It didn't even seem real at the time  you know I couldn't grasp it," said Connor Schell. He was one of the many friends of both Hunter and Angelito at the ceremony."

Schell says as everyone was looking up at the balloons, the two young men were probably looking down on them.

"It really does touch my heart you know. I'm glad to see all the people that care and love for them here," said Schell. "Cause I know I'm one of them too and they'd appreciate it."

Having been two weeks since the bodies were discovered, state police have given very little information on the investigation.

Something the boys families say is stopping them from having closure.

"A lot of us are getting very angry and impatient at this point," said Tanya Evans, Mother of Angelito. "It's two weeks to the day and we still have no answers."

"When you are being treated like you're the outsider of an investigation on your own child, there's rights that parents have and that's by birth. That's my baby," said Kate Mock, the mother of Hunter.

For Kate Mock, the mother of Hunter, the support she's seen from the community at events like this is the reason she says she will continue fighting for justice.

"I'm tired of other people coming to me with speculation and stories of Mock and Caraballo," said Mock. "Their names were Hunter and Angel and they were loved by everyone."
