In March, two of Kayla Calderon's cousins told FOX6 they couldn't quite comprehend why the 18-year-old mother of two was gone.
"We need answers," said Nelicia Miranda. "We need answers soon, you know, because it just doesn’t make sense."
Milwaukee police found her dead inside an apartment near 53rd and Center.

Family said Calderon had a gunshot wound, but police only labeled it a death investigation.
Search warrants shed light on their investigation into Calderon's then-boyfriend for first-degree intentional homicide.
A Milwaukee County judge signed off on a warrant for that man's Facebook and Instagram records around the time of Calderon's death. The warrant says obtaining the records would allow investigators to see any posts with the man possessing the gun found at the scene of Calderon's death because "the firearm recovered is very unique."
The warrant also includes text messages sent by the man to the victim's mother about a week before her death. According to police. the man was trying to get his keys back from Calderon when he told her mom,"Tell that [expletive] come outside. I don't give a [expletive]. If y'all call y'all family or police, I'll shoot through that [expletive] n kill whole house in the kids."
