Hollis was killed when someone in a passing car fired on the car she was in with relatives.

The family voiced their frustrations that the crime remains unsolved.

"To bring peace into Jacksonville and show others around the world that there are people that really care and that Tiphne is going to make a difference," Hollis' grandmother, Elouise Whitaker, said. "Her death is not in vain."

Hollis' family said they know the teen would want them to march and fight for justice, and they're still holding out hope that someone will come forward with more information about her killing.
