Family and friends of an Arkansas man allegedly shot and killed by his boss, rallied together Monday night. January 8th, 2013 would have been Ernest Hoskins Jr.'s 22nd birthday. Police say Hoskins was killed during a November meeting at the home of his boss, Christopher Reynolds. Reynolds was arrested roughly two weeks later, but is yet to be formally charged, according to Hoskins' family attorney, Benjamin Crump.
Loved ones filled Anderson's Taekwondo to celebrate Hoskins' birthday and push for justice Monday.
"I cry every night, I've cried every night since November 9th, since I got the news. This was my husband, the love of my life," said Nikki Hoskins, Ernest's wife.
Crump says the case is somewhat on hold while the Lonoke County Prosecutor's Office, appoints a special prosecutor to the case.
