The family of an unarmed 15-year-old boy shot and killed last week will hold a vigil today at the Warren County Justice Center.

Eros Berisaj was shot and killed while allegedly breaking into a residence at 525 Creekwood Court.

The vigil will be at 5:15 p.m. today – about the time Eros was killed on April 3.

Saban Ferizi, father of Eros, said he wants answers to questions surrounding the incident that the authorities aren’t providing, Ferizi said.

A detective with the Bowling Green Police Department told the family Wednesday morning that the investigation is progressing and may be finished in a day or more than a week.

He declined to answer specific questions about the case, pending investigation.

The reaction in the Bosnian community is one of shock, said Tatiana Schanic, director of refugee resettlement at Bowling Green’s International Center.

The 5,000-strong Bosnian community cannot believe some of the things happening with this thing, Schanic said.

“We don’t excuse Eros’ wrongdoing but how can someone kill somebody who didn’t enter the house?” Schanic said.

Police have not released the information about the location of the shooting at the house.

Schanic, a Bosnian native in Bowling Green since 1995, tries to aid Bosnian refugees to understand the law.

She was the case manager for the Ferizi family when they first arrived in Bowling Green in 1998.

But in this case, she cannot answer their questions about where Eros was when he was shot or whether it’s right for someone to take justice into their own hands, as the shooter did, Schanic said.

Police declined to identify the shooter.

Owners of the house at 525 Creekwood Court couldn’t be reached for comment.

The Herald is withholding their names.

J.B. Hines, an attorney who said he is representing a client affiliated with the investigation, declined to name his client.

He said that his client is cooperating fully with authorities, and that his client will release a statement when the investigation is finished.

Results from Eros’ autopsy will be ready from the Medical Examiner’s Office in Louisville in about a month, Commonwealth’s Attorney Chris Cohron said.

Then, Cohron’s office will decide whether to send the case to a grand jury for an indictment.

Ferizi’s wife, Drita, said the family survived wars in Bosnia and Yugoslavia only to come to America and lose two sons.

At 19 years old, their son Elvir was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1992 in Bowling Green.

“Sometimes I think it’s safer back in Bosnia,” she said.
