Lakewood police say the investigation continues, but investigators do not believe this was a random attack.

"Their mom will never see them graduate, get married, have kids, just live the American dream, because that was all taken from them," a family friend said at the vigil.

The boys' mother is now left to bury both of her sons.

"I just can't believe they're gone, it changes everything, because I lost half of my family in the blink of an eye," a family member said.

With youth gun violence on the rise in the Denver metro area, the family is pleading for it to come to an end before it's too late.
