The family of 3-year-old Major Harris and his mother, 25-year-old Mallery Muenzenberger, who was killed last week released a statement Thursday. "On behalf of the family of Mallery Muenzenberger and Major Harris, we want to extend our many thanks to the Milwaukee community volunteers and the Milwaukee Police Department for all of your diligence in searching for Major. It has truly been a helpless feeling for all of us that have not been able to assist in the search for Major due to having to prepare for Mallery's funeral. We are heartbroken as we prepare to say our final goodbyes to Mallery who was taken from us in such a violent fashion."Mallery was a beautiful kind soul who loved her little boy with all of her heart. She raised him as a single mother, working 2 jobs at times trying to provide for him. Her early aspirations were to become a nurse, and she would have made a very caring one! Mallery became involved in a life she never shared with our family. She was much too private. She was an honest person with too much trust we have found out. As we have been searching through her belongings we came across her high school senior project. How ironic that the topic she chose to present was Domestic Violence Awareness. Mallery faced her death in the hands of domestic violence in October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month."Mallery was raised in a family unit based on their strong faith. She attended Bible studies, Bible camps, weekly church services and daily prayer. Her son was her life — her joy — her purpose — her future. She loved her family. As we look through the pictures of her growing up, we continually see her contagious, sweet smile. You couldn’t help but be drawn to her lovable personality. She had a quiet innocence about her. She never had to be the center of attention, more than likely she was the one smirking in the corner of the room with that devious look of hers."Mallery's life will not be forgotten. We will never let her memory go. We will continue to search for her beautiful baby boy, Major, and bring him home to La Crosse, to the family that loves and cares for him. Major has been a part of Mallery’s family since his birth and his missing has left an incredible void in our lives."We will always approach the month of October with a new appreciation and awareness on her behalf. We ask that all of us keep the victims of domestic violence in your hearts, and say a prayer that their souls rest in peace. As we transition our focus of putting Mallery to rest, we will never rest until we locate Major. We are desperate for any information regarding his whereabouts. If you have any information please contact the Milwaukee Police Department, and bring Major home. #majorstrong"Milwaukee police announced Thursday they had made six arrests in connection with Muenzenberger's killing, but did not offer any details. All but two, a 21-year-old and 29-year-old man, were released. Police named 20-year-old Jaheem Clark as the primary suspect in Muenzenberger's death and believed he had Major Harris with him, but police said Clark killed himself as they closed in on him Sunday.Police said those arrested include relatives and acquaintances of Clark. No one has been charged in Muenzenberger's homicide. Police said they still don't know why the two from the La Crosse area came to Milwaukee earlier this month. Major was found dead Thursday afternoon near 35th Street and Rohr Avenue.
