Police haven't said what led to the disturbance, and there was no word on any arrests. Further details were not immediately available.
Penado's mom spoke to WJAR on Sunday, saying he had just returned to Rhode Island on Friday after celebrating his 12-year-old son's birthday with the rest of his family in Florida. Twenty-four hours later, Penado was dead, and his family wants justice -- without any more violence.
"Yes I want justice. I want accountability," Kendall Penado told WJAR. "But I don't want any other mother to have to lose a child."
