He says the department believes a previous tenant of Roseland, which has since been shut down and now sits vacant, knows something about the shootout that took Dennis' life."Somebody might have a cell phone video, or maybe they remember the people that were driving those vehicles. There were two vehicles involved," Ortiz-Vives said.Police are still trying to identify the owners of a white SUV and a small blue sedan.Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information leading to arrests in this case.

Chuck's parents, Meeka and Charles Dennis, Jr., say every aspect of their lives has changed since the death of their son. "The holidays are coming up. We don't get to celebrate his birthdays, and the reality of death causes that we'll never get again," Meeka said."I'm just begging for someone to say something just to give us a little sense of peace," Meeka continued. "He didn't deserve to be murdered, gunned down the way he did."
