The family of a Bridgeport man is still calling for justice two years after he was fatally shot.
The family of 33-year-old Michael Yon still maintain a makeshift memorial for him.
Police say he was gunned down outside the Bridgeport Innovation Center on Connecticut Avenue.
"I want people to speak up. I want people to tell the truth of what happened in this situation, and we just want the guns down. Violence is not the answer," said Jalene Fonseca, Yon's sister.
"These are innocent people, standbys, in the way, on the corners -- just people spraying bullets at the wrong people..." said his mother, Cathy Fonseca.
Officers say two other people were shot, but only suffered injuries that were not life-threatening.
Bridgeport police asks anyone with information to contact them.
