The family of a 15-year-old boy who died protecting his little sister is on a mission for justice.
Khyler Edman was stabbed to death in his Port Charlotte home by a violent intruder in September 2019.
Khyler’s father and grandmother spoke to us for the first time Thursday.
Instead of celebrating Khyler’s 17th birthday with him, his family spent the day mourning the life of a hero.
“I think to myself, ‘Khyler would be driving,” grandmother Mary Summers said. “He would be a junior in high school. He would be probably in ROTC and preparing for his future.”

LONDON bus passengers should give their full support to London bus workers as they prepare for massive strike actions in the capital called by the Unite trade union.
The first wave of strike action, which starts on Monday, involves bus drivers employed by the French-owned company RATP, which operates three subsidiaries in the London bus network: London United, London Sovereign and Quality Line. Some 2,000 bus drivers are involved in the dispute.
Workers at London United, which provides bus services in South and West London will take strike action on Monday 22 February, Tuesday 23 February and Wednesday 24 February.
RATP is using the Covid-19 pandemic to attack the terms and conditions of the drivers at the London United subsidiary. Due to the proposed contracts drivers face wage cuts of £2,500 which will reduce wages to 2015 levels, additionally, due to attacks on conditions, drivers will be expected to be at work for far longer.

COLUMBUS, Ohio It took 130 phone calls, 90 minutes on hold, and some convincing of her hesitant grandmother, but Megan Dembski’s persistence repeatedly dialing the health department paid off on Monday, when she drove Mary Summers, 87, to become one of the first seniors in Ohio to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Summers, a lifelong Ohio resident, said she had not been longing for this day to come. “I knew I had to do it, but I wasn t looking forward to it,” she said. “Some people have said the vaccine is too new, they don t want to take it, and I was concerned maybe they were right. I want to be safe.”
