If so, I remember that witness statements said he kept “calling for his Dad”.

Yes, this is the same incident. My 23-year old son lives within blocks of the location and I live nearby, so I have seen the makeshift memorial that has been set up by the locals often. The thought of him calling out his last words - "Please God, I'm sorry...Dad...Dad...Dad!" - is especially heartbreaking, given his mental state. He had been schitzophrenic for 20 years.

I pray for justice for this troubled soul and his family, but what true justice can there be? He is dead, after all.

“What true justice can there be?”

I think the only true justice is that the killers of this young man do the time. Justice can be equated with ensuring that they don’t do this to anyone else’s son (or daughter, or husband). For the family... this certainly won’t bring their boy back or ever erase knowing how brutally and frightened he was when he died. However, to do nothing will make his death completely meaningless. Maybe a drop of comfort can be felt if the family knew that this group of individuals couldn’t do it to another family.
