Life Now for Mom of 8-Year-Old Killed in Drive-By Shooting

We live in a world where our children aren’t even safe in our homes eating dinner & playing video games. As a father this terrifies me….. rest in paradise little man 😔

She is remarkable, I pray her son receives Justice

It's incredible how well this mother held her tears telling this story.

That’s a little baby , I am so emotional for her. To carry a child for nine months, to raise and mold your child into the man he should be . It’s so heartbreaking. My heart is so heavy for this mother, a pain you’ll never forget.

I understand her pain. My son was 33 when he went missing for almost a year before I found out he was shot in the head in cold blood by a so called trusted friend. I've never been the same I miss him every day. A Mother's love for her child is forever and ever💔

May this child and family get justice. No one deserves this 🙁

I can not start to imagine how I would feel to lose any of my children.....I can feel that mother's pain..

The way they celebrated that sweet child was so precious by the funeral home.. bless you for doing that for the family, , and community

"They didn't have the lights on the ambulance! I ain't stupid!" I felt that so deeply! Prayers going up for this mother and all who knew and loved young PJ!

The joy pj brought his momma is undeniable, her face lights up talking about him. God bless this mother and R.I.P PJ ❣️🙏

He sounded like the most adorable little baby boy. The way he talked, reminds me of an old soul in a child's body. I'm so sorry for your loss Mama.

I have so much endless empathy and sympathy to that little 8 year old. Why would people do this?

The way this mother smiles and lights up when she talks about her son demonstrates a true love for her child. Although I’m sorry for her loss, I’m extremely grateful that God allowed PJ’s last day on earth to be filled with friends, family, and football; he did what he loved to do and was full of joy and accomplishment. He enjoyed the championship game, his teammates, his family, his video game, and even his last meal! Despite her loss, this mom continues to pour into those boys in the community and on his team. I pray that God continues to use you to be a blessing to others. I also pray that He gives you, your son, your family, and PJ’s teammates and their parents strength, comfort, and peace. Rest In Peace, PJ! Your eternal jersey awaits you in Heaven!!!

the way she talks about her son with so much joy. i cant even imagine the pay this mother is going through. rip pj. 🕊

I'm not a mother but I feel for her. I lost 5 friends throughout my life, all due to murder and suicide. I know losing a child is different than losing a friend. May this Angel rest in peace and may his family have the strength to get through life with memories of him. Rest in peace PJ, fly high little angel

I'm so sorry I can't imagine the pain. This child is with God smiling down on his mom❤

The hardest part about being a gamer is never seeing that one friend get online again and wondering what happened. We make friends and then sometimes stuff like this happens and we never know.

Damn she literally walked through each emotion that transpired that day. I am sorry that this tragedy hit their family and especially PJ.

My heart breaks for this mom. Seeing that baby laying there is heartbreaking

Omg i cried my eyes out this is to heartbreaking 😢i dont know what i would do without my babies man
