JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Friends, family and police are still looking for answers in the shooting death of 25-year-old Richard Key, who was gunned down in a drive-by shooting outside of a store on Jacksonville's Eastside in 2012.
Key's mother, Catherine Ivey, held an emotional vigil at her home Monday asking the community to remember her son while she continues to look for answers that could help police close the cold case and give her some relief.
"He was called out of the store and the next thing I know, somebody's knocking on my door, telling me my son was dead," Ivey said.

Ivey said she's still tortured by the death of her son, killed just four blocks from where she still lives.
She said she wants someone to help detectives crack the case because at this point, all she knows is that no one has been arrested, prosecuted or convicted in the drive-by shooting that claimed Key's life.
"I do know, and feel, within my heart, that someone out here knows exactly who these people were," Ivey said.
Ivey said she stays in touch with police and knows they need help solving the murder. She said she still aches for her lost son and pleads for help from the community.
"I don't know what triggered it or what could have happened, but I just pray that justice prevails for my son, because he didn't deserve what happened to him," Ivey said.
A group of family and friends spent time remembering Key, visiting the place he died as she spoke about her loss, as she led a short prayer while attendees released balloons.
"Every day I wake up, not a day, not an hour, not a minute, not a second that I don't think about my child," Ivey said. "People in the neighborhood always told me my son was very respectful. He always would play checkers with the elderly guys out here."
Ivey also said she has a direct message to someone watching or reading about the story of her son's death who may have information about the shooting.
"You kept it so long but it has to come out. Don't let his children not know what happened to their father," Ivey said. "I just pray and ask anybody, if you know, please tell it. It's time to talk! It's time to let justice prevail."
Ivey also wanted to remind anyone with information that they can contact Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS and leave an anonymous tip and be eligible for a reward for information that leads to an arrest in the case.
