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

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.

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

"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!

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💔

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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❤

Rest easy PJ. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ A momma should never have to bury their child. My heart goes out to this mom and all moms with angel babies. 💕

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!!!

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

Omg I’m so sorry… tomorrow we will be celebrating my brothers life.. he was 21 when he has his accident.. it’s been 17 years now.. he turned 38 feb. 8th. Praying for you and your family! He is watching over you! 🤍💙
