Family members of the two masked men shot to death after allegedly robbing a store in Reading spoke out Tuesday.
"It's not fair," said Virginia Medina, mother of 24-year-old William Medina, who police said robbed Krick's Korner store alongside 18-year-old Robert De Carr on Monday.
The two men were shot and killed by a private citizen while leaving the store, and family members want to see charges pressed.
"[William] had no right to lose his life over something that man could have called the police for," said Medina. "He took the law into his own hands and walked away scot-free."
"How about if people just start running around here, policing the city on their own? How much worse is it going to get?" said Peter Ratel, Medina's cousin.
The family members said they are hurt by comments suggesting the alleged robbers were "thugs."
According to Medina, William was "no big hard criminal" and was rather a family-man who loved his young daughter.
Robert De Carr was described similarly by his sister, Taylor De Carr. "My brother was a good kid," she told 69 News.

Hey! These folks are just trying to make a living! You don’t think they have a right to make a living?
The baby momma was saying that the “killer got away scot-free”.
What does she have against the Scottish?
Good for the gene pool.
Google cops shoot armed robbers and get back to us.
The certain group of posters to which you refer would have no problem with police shooting people who are pointing guns at them after robbing a store at gunpoint. Those certain posters are not favorable to criminals whether wearing masks or badges.
They got justice. They have heard of the money Travon’s parents made from Travon getting shot. And are trying to do the same thing. Look for more of the same to happen as the “parents” of the hoodlums discover that their spawn are worth more dead than alive.
That's nothing more than an opinion. You know what is said about opinions, don't you?
This is what most CCWers rarely get taught — all of the legal crap that occurs after the shoot. First, the cops and DA investigate you and in some localities file criminal charges. Then the family finds a greasy lawyer to sue you in civil court. Then sometimes the dead guys gang comes after you. The real fight beings after the shoot. Now if youre a cop you get to pass go and have a fist full of get out of jail free cards.
Money, my man, money. They seen how Travon’s parents made out from his demise. They are trying to get a piece of the action also.
So who do you claim supports criminals?
I believe you nailed it.
If they had killed a bunch of people it would be all about those evil guns.
Wow! Thanks for that link.
I didn’t know until today that no-knock raids are forbidden by law in New Hampshire.
Not that it stops the paramilitary goons hopped up on steroids, but good to know it’s the law, anyway.
Charge the relatives with 12kV.
The Krick’s Korner store in question had been robbed multiple times in the past, irrc (from the news channels here).
Trayvons all over, I see.
Sorry his career plans got cut short.
They were just getting their lives turned around, aspiring rappers, and all that.
Goblins DRT ?? Sounds like a happy ending to me. . .
