A year after their son's murder, a Jacksonville family has answers.
Monday afternoon, Daniel Rowe's mother embraced the men and women who found his suspected killer.
Saturday marked one year since the young father's death, just weeks before his 21st birthday. Rowe, who was employed at the Blind Rabbit restaurant in Riverside, was taking out the trash at work when he was shot and killed.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says Erron Coleman is the man responsible. The 12-time convicted felon was already in jail on other charges.
Police say Coleman implicated himself in the murder while talking to another inmate.
Rowe’s parents say the arrest is a blessing, but they also say there will never be a sense of closure. On Monday, they embraced JSO Director Tom Hackney moments after Hackney announced the arrest of Coleman.
“I lost my first-born child, he made me a mom,” said Raelyn Rowe, Daniel’s mom.
“It's a small start, as for total closure, no,” said Steven Rowe, Daniel’s dad.
JSO said one more suspect is still out there after the July 2015 murder of the young father.
“We know one person is off the street, that's one stepping stone. There is no closure,” said Steven Rowe.
Last July, our cameras were there the night Rowe was shot and killed during a robbery behind The Blind Rabbit, where he worked as a cook.

In the hours after the murder, we watched as detectives went door to door gathering information from neighbors.
Monday, we found out the police canvassing College Street may have unknowingly knocked on the suspect’s door a year ago. Jail records show Coleman lives across the street from the crime scene at the Blind Rabbit in Riverside.
“It is a little shocking it was such a short distance away,” said Raelyn Rowe.
Riverside neighbors like mom Julie Jennings say they'll sleep better knowing Coleman is locked up.
“We definitely feel safer knowing that person has been arrested,” Jennings said.
“I think it puts everybody's mind at ease,” said Zach Neptune.
But the Rowes say Monday’s arrest and moments like these are only the beginning.
“It's a blessing. We've gotten an answer and we've got justice and now we have to let the prosecutors do their jobs,” said Steven Rowe.
We tried to talk with Blind Rabbit employees and they told us they've been instructed not to talk to the media.
Coleman's arrest report says he is not a member of a gang. He is due in court Tuesday morning.
