The son of a Long Branch couple killed in a New Year's Eve slaying that also left his sister and a family friend dead posted a heartfelt message Monday evening mourning their loss. 
  
 "My New Year's resolution is to be as great of a parent as my parents were to me," Steven Kologi wrote on Instagram. "They were the greatest parents I could ask for." 
  
 His parents Steven and Linda Kologi, his 18-year-old sister Brittany, and a family friend Mary Schulz were shot to death late Sunday with a semi-automatic rifle. The Kologi's 16-year-old son has been charged with murder and faces a family court hearing Tuesday. 
  
 The teen's name has not been released because he is a juvenile and no motive has been provided for the killing. 
  
 Steven Kologi focused his first statement on his parent's death on his memories of his parents and sister, who was a freshman student at Stockton University. 
  
 "Never once was I without a hot meal or a roof over my head," Kologi said. "They made sure Christmas came every year even though they struggled financially. I cannot even describe the type of people they were so just believe me when I say how great they were." 
  
 His sister Brittany was "beautiful and smart," Kologi wrote. She was studying health sciences. 
  
 "She was on the process to being great with whatever she chose," her brother wrote. "I just wish I could tell all of them how much they meant to me and how much I truly loved each and every one of them because I didn't do that enough. Please, please remember to give the ones you love an extra kiss or I love you." 
  
 A candlelight vigil is being organized for the Kologis at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Franklin Lake Park in West Long Branch. 
  
 Hello all there will be a vigil tomorrow night 6pm at Franklin lake in west long branch for the Kologi's and Mary Schultz. Please spread the word and try to bring candles if you can some will be provided! Reach out/dm @shannon_tatum24 if you have questions! -- LBHS Alumni (@LBHSseniors2017) January 2, 2018 
  
 A GoFundMe account has been established to help cover the family's funeral expenses. 
  
 The 16-year-old's court hearing on Tuesday will be closed to the public because it is being heard in family court. The Monmouth County Prosecutor has said, however, he plans to pursue the case in adult court. 
  
 In addition to four murder charges, the teen faces weapons offenses. The Century Arms semi-automatic rifle was recovered from the home on the 600 block of Wall Street shortly after the teen surrendered, prosecutors have said. 
  
 The teen's brother and grandfather were also home at the time of the shooting, but were able to escape unharmed, prosecutors said. 
  
 Family friends have described the teen as having special needs that led him to be home schooled by Linda Kologi. The nature of his special needs was not clear.

 For those who know the Kologi family, the tragic events of New Year's Eve are beyond baffling. 
  
 Steven and Linda Kologi, their 18-year-old daughter Brittany, and a 70-year-old family friend were gunned down in a Long Branch home shortly before midnight. The Kologis' 16-year-old son now stands accused of the killings. 
  
 No motive has been revealed by authorities. Friends and neighbors were at a loss for answers Monday. 
  
 "I just can't understand why," said family friend Veronica Mass, 69, of Union Beach. "What happened? I just have no idea." 
  
 The teen, who faces a court hearing Tuesday on the charges, has not been named by authorities because he is a juvenile. Prosecutors said Monday they intended to seek that he be tried as an adult. He is being held at the Middlesex Youth Detention Facility. 
  
 The 16-year-old's brother and grandfather were also inside the home, a multifamily house on the 600 block of Wall Street, but were able to escape unharmed, officials said. 
  
 A 911 call reporting the shooting was made at 11:43 p.m. from inside the home. The teen's parents, Steven, 44, and Linda Kologi, 42, his sister Brittany Kologi, 18, and family friend, Mary Schulz, 70, of Ocean Township, were pronounced dead at the scene. 
  
 Police said there was no history of violence at the home. The Century Arms semi-automatic rifle used in the killings was legally obtained and owned by a resident of the house. 
  
 Mass said she was "stunned" when she heard the news of the shooting. Linda Kologi and Mass' daughter were close friends growing up together in Jersey City. 
  
 "They were a close-knit family," Mass said. "No drugs, no alcohol." 
  
 Mass said the 16-year-old was home-schooled since fourth or fifth grade because he had emotional problems. Other kids made fun of him, and he wasn't keeping up academically, she said, adding that a teacher told his mother he was learning disabled. 
  
 "He improved dramatically after being home-schooled," Mass said. "He learned to read, did his math. He got up to where he was supposed to be." 
  
 Socially she said he was "outgoing, very friendly. He would tell jokes." 
  
 Mass was also surprised to learn there was a gun in the home. 
  
 "Big Steve, he did not like any guns in the house," she said. "If they owned a gun, I had no knowledge of it." 
  
 Mass said Linda's sister and her husband live in another unit of the multifamily home, and were home when the shooting happened. 
  
 Jalen Walls, a neighbor who went to high school with Brittany Kologi, also said her brother required special assistance and was cared for by his mother. 
  
 "But he was fully functional and comprehended what we were saying," said Walls, 18. 
  
 Brittany Kologi was a freshman at Stockton University and was studying health sciences. 
  
 "We are shocked and saddened by the reports of the death of freshman Brittany Kologi under such tragic circumstances," the school said in a statement, adding that counseling is available for her friends and classmates at Stockton. 
  
 An online fundraiser has raised more than $13,000 to cover the family's funeral expenses.

 A 16-year-old New Jersey boy accused of fatally shooting his parents, sister and a family friend on New Year’s Eve. 
  
 Monmouth County prosecutors say the teen would not be in the courtroom for the Family Court hearing on Tuesday. He was due to appear via video conference and the arraignment proceedings were to be closed to the public. 
  
 The suspect’s name is being withheld because he is a minor. 
  
 The teen faces four counts of murder and a weapons offense stemming from the shooting that occurred late Sunday night in Long Branch. Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the slayings but have said they may seek to move the case to adult court. 
  
 On Tuesday, the court heard arguments from a local newspaper to make the case public even if the suspect was tried as a juvenile. 
  
 A hearing planned for Wednesday, will determine if the boy will be held during the trial, and another hearing will determine if he will be tried as an adult. 
  
 Investigators say the teen used a semi-automatic rifle, legally owned by a family member, to kill his parents, 44-year-old Steven Kologi and 42-year-old Linda Kologi, his 18-year-old sister Brittany and his grandfather’s girlfriend, 70-year-old Mary Schultz, who lived with the family. The shooting happened just minutes before midnight during a New Year’s Eve party at the family’s home on Wall Street in Long Branch. 
  
 The teen’s grandfather and brother were not targeted and left the home unharmed. Authorities say the gun used in the killings was owned by one of the survivors. 
  
 Authorities also said a third person — an acquaintance of one of the relatives — escaped the home after hearing shots fired. 
  
 Monmouth County Prosecutor Chris Gramiccioni described the shooting as an isolated domestic incident and said the teen was taken into custody without issue. 
  
 “It’s a terribly tragic incident,” he said Monday. 
  
 Friends and relatives are overcome by the enormous loss. 
  
 “He always had your back no matter what. He always had your back,” said Steven Kologi’s childhood friend Ronnie Pacheco. “He loved his kids to death, he loved all his kids to death.” 
  
 “Always smiling, not a violent kid or anything like that,” said family friend Joe Rios. 
  
 “Why’d he do that to my cousin? Why would he kill his own mother? She was so good to that boy,” relative Walter Montelione said. 
  
 Relatives describe Linda as a doting mother. Brittany was a freshman at Stockton University and they say Steven worked multiple jobs to support his family. 
  
 “He loved his kids to death,” said Pacheco. 
  
 Investigators say the teen did not have a criminal history. 
  
 “He was a good kid, he was a little you know slow with learning disabilities but he knows right from wrong,” Montelione said. 
  
 A family friend has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for the family’s funeral expenses. 
  
 Friends and family members were also planning a vigil in Long Branch at the Franklin Lake gazebo on Tuesday night.

Days after escaping a quadruple murder that left three of his family members dead, Steven Kologi Jr. took to Instagram to remember his "beautiful and smart" sister and "the greatest parents I could ask for." "I just wish I could tell all of them how much they meant to me and how much I truly loved each and every one of them because I didn't do that enough," Kologi wrote, per the Newark Star-Ledger. Authorities say Kologi's 16-year-old brother opened fire inside the family's home in Long Branch, NJ, just before midnight on New Year's Eve, killing Steven Kologi, 44; Linda Kologi, 42; Brittany Kologi, 18; and a family friend, 70-year-old Mary Schultz. Prosecutors say Steven Kologi Jr. and his grandfather were home at the time of the shooting but were not harmed. The 16-year-old suspect, identified by the Asbury Park Press as Scott Kologi, had a learning disability and was home-schooled by his mother following bullying in elementary school, a family friend tells the Star-Ledger. She describes him as a "friendly, funny teenager" who liked to tell jokes. "I can't understand why he flipped out," she says, per the Park Press. "I can't think of anything." Police haven't disclosed a motive, but the teen—who was to make his first court appearance via video conference on Tuesday morning, per CBS New York—will face charges of four counts of murder and possession of a firearm for an unlawful purpose. Prosecutors, who are aiming to try him as an adult, say the semi-automatic rifle used in the shooting was legally owned by a family member, who has not been identified.
