Family members remembered the toddler as wise beyond his years and said he enjoyed being an usher at church.
"Rylo is about the youngest one in our family. Rylo is just a little sweetheart, he's a little usher, he's always trying to help and I didn't know it was going to be my last time Sunday kissing Rylo, I didn't know this," aunt Beverly Isaac said Wednesday.
A new $10,000 Crime Stoppers reward was announced Wednesday in Yancy's killing, and the family said they need help from the public.
Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis and Police Chief Bill Schultz also spoke Wednesday about the shooting of Yancy and other recent gun violence in the city that detectives are working to solve.
