Video Highlights "Justice for Billy" Effort by Schettino Family, Friends

Family and friends continue quest to get answers in teen's death.

A short and moving video created by members of Blue Point resident Billy Schettino's family has one simple message:  We won't forget.

In a short narrative, an uncle of the 18-year-old, who was killed March 14 after being struck by a Suffolk County Sheriff's car on the LIE, speaks about the empty feeling of losing a beloved nephew and the frustration of not knowing what caused the accident that killed the Bayport-Blue Point High School graduate.

The video is available on YouTube by clicking here.

In a poignant ending, the narrator asks: "Do you think we're going to forget?"

The answer is a visual of dozens of family members and friends standing together at the Wastelands, the former Blue Point Laundry site where the teen loved to skate board with his friends.
