Twenty-five years ago, four young men were murdered in a crime that became known as the Youngstown Labor Day massacre.

To mark the anniversary, members of the victims families gathered to remember their lost loved ones. 

The families returned to the house on McGuffey Road where in 1991 the four young men were shot and killed execution style. They were murdered by Willie "Flip" Williams, who authorities said was on a mission to be the drug king of Youngstown.  

The families say even 25 years later, the memory of that day still brings heartache.  "We ride past this house often and I still get all teared up," said Tawanna Wright who's brother was one of the victims. 

 Williams was arrested and was being held in the old Mahoning county jail where he managed to escape. After his escape Williams next appeared at the Juvenile Justice Center where, armed with automatic weapons and explosives, he made a bold attempt to break-in and silence the witnesses against him.

The attempt failed, and after a stand-off Williams was taken back into custody. At trial he was found guilty, and in 2005 he was executed for his crimes. Tawanna Wright was a witness. "I was there to see him executed, and I thought it would have some closure. But it really didn't because he didn't really apologize or anything," Wright said.

  The loved ones of the victims say that over the years they have become their own family.
