In an emotional appeal on Ellis' birthday, his heartbroken family vowed to never give up and urged anyone with information to speak up for him, stating, "Our world is shattered and doesn't make much sense without you. Our hearts are broken." They expressed their struggle to find the words to celebrate a life that was so suddenly lost. "How can we now celebrate his life which had hardly begun and was taken in such a cruel unexplainable way?"
His family poignantly reflected on the pain of lost potential, saying, "It's so hard knowing all the things he was yet to experience in life, this was his time to start to experience so much in life. He was still a teenager, so many memories he was yet to make, so many moments he was going to have to cherish... just 19." They highlighted the innocence of Ellis and called on the community for support in getting justice.
