NEARLY a month after 38-year-old Geovani Rolle was murdered outside his work place, his family said they have yet to receive answers surrounding his killing and want to hear more from police about the status of their investigations.

Geovani’s sister, Melanie Rolle-Hilton, could not say when the family last heard from police and did not have any new information on the case other than the initial suspect's release from custody last month.

“We welcome hearing from them more,” she said of the police’s efforts to find her brother’s killer. “As you know, every day there’s a murder or something else happening, and as a family, we just want to keep Geovani’s matter because it’s still an ongoing investigation, and for us, his remaining number 57 is not acceptable.”

“So while we recognise that we can’t hear from the police daily, we want to hear from them more.”

Rolle, a Jet Nassau employee, was shot multiple times after arriving at work on June 16th.

He died in the ambulance on his way to Doctors Hospital, surrounded by relatives.

His family is offering a $25,000 reward for anyone with information that could bring his killer to justice.

“Now that we laid him to rest last week, we’re going to focus our efforts on using more platforms to get more information out there about the reward,” she said, adding that no one has yet come forward.

Mrs Rolle-Hilton said the family has avoided the social media chatter about her brother’s death and is trusting the police to do their job.

“As a family, we remain hopeful that the police is a body responsible and in charge of conducting the investigations despite what is out there will do their job,” she added. “We’re hopeful, and we have to believe in the justice system, or what else do we have?

“We loved Geovani immensely, and our love for him knows no bounds, so we owe it to him and his children to do what we can to continue on with this. This ordeal has been devastating for us as a family, but we’re not going to let this go.”
