Joseph, 32, got into an argument with a 45-year-old man in his Chicago high-rise apartment building when he was shot several times and killed.
Family members spoke with Channel 2′s Candace McCowan in January and said the suspect, who was Joseph’s neighbor, was taken into custody briefly, but was released and has not been charged.
“I didn’t think it would take this long,” Jay Charles, Joseph’s brother, said. “With so much evidence presented I don’t see why the investigation is still ongoing.”
