On her Instagram account, Sydni, posted a memorial post for her brother and raised several questions about the incident, including the intentions of the passengers in his red Golf GTI.

Sydni posted:

“Today I find myself wondering. I wonder how long it took them to plan this [ and yes we believe it was planned]. I wonder what was the reason to actually sit down and plot your death . I wonder if they personally knew you. I wonder why your ‘friends’ ran away. Are you mad at them? You were so strong and sturdy in stature, but knowing that you fell that night - with no one to catch you, breaks my heart bra. Did it hurt? Did you cry? Did you call out for any of us? Did you call out to the Almighty?”
