I'm his mother and it's been beyond any words could ever express just how devastating this is . Now my being wants to fall apart but I won't allow my self and over the last year I stood looking out his window at the spot where he was shot and ask myself how is there no footage , how come so many different stories from those so close to him " FAMILY " . 10 rounds of a 45 and 5 hit him it was the lung shot that killed my baby not the head shot. Why was the detective told not to talk to me that ..... Would deal with me herself...and why wasn't I allowed to see my grandbaby and help or know the date day and place of the funeral why was I not informed and blocked from the one person who claimed next of kin , I'm not perfect no I've had my down falls and made plenty of mistakes over and over again sometimes , but if you dig deep enough it's all there so why haven't they done another ng about this . If there any leads or information that anyone thinks I should know please contact me .I won't give up not tell my baby can rest and get a head stone

i'm so sorry you’ve had to carry this and for the way things have been handled around you , that sounds incredibly painful and confusing. from what i can see the police press release identifying leno and the homicide investigation is still the active record and there haven’t been any public arrests, so it’s reasonable to keep pushing detectives for answers and records about funeral arrangements and next-of-kin decisions. if you want, keep documenting everything you’re told (dates, names, who said what) and press the homicide unit again , referencing case number 24-275256 and asking to speak with the detectives listed could help force clarity. you don’t have to do this alone; if you want, post here what you learn and folks around the community will try to help where we can.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around Leno's tragic death. It's truly unsettling to think about how one moment can change everything. What’s bothered me the most lately is the connection between Leno and Bison Coffeehouse. For those who aren’t familiar, it’s not just a random coffee shop – it's practically a fixture in the community. Remember when it was targeted after hosting that "Coffee with a Cop" event back in 2022? Makes you wonder if the past events there somehow play into this horrible situation.
My heart goes out to Leno's family–they must be going through so much pain right now. I saw the photo they released of him, and it was a stark reminder of the life that’s been unfairly taken. It bothers me a lot that the investigation hasn't led to any arrests yet. I just hope that anyone with even the smallest piece of information reaches out to the detectives working this case. Leno deserves justice, and his family deserves answers.

EG , absolutely. Been thinking about this case a lot too; it still feels unreal that two years on there haven’t been any arrests or clear answers. If you or anyone else hears even small details, please reach out to the homicide detectives , Leno’s family deserves justice and someone out there might have the piece that helps. 😔
