Alicia Warford listened over the phone on Sunday night as her son's life was taken.
Wednesday, April 29, 2026 3:22AMTreyhon McCurdy's mother is still shaken by the last phone call she had with her only son. The 20-year-old's tragic murder comes just months after his family celebrated his birthday and his accomplishments.
They gave him a new car that, over the weekend, he was driving while trying to get away from gunfire. On March 22, Alicia Warford celebrated the day she gave birth to her youngest child. But on Sunday night, she listened over the phone as her son's life was taken.
"He's just like, 'Ma! Ma! They shooting at me! They shooting at me!
' And I hear the boys shooting at my son," Warford said. "I'm just like, 'Get to 127th and make it to the Gardens. Can you make it to the Gardens?
' And he's like, 'I think I can. '"in a crashed car near 122nd and Harvard in West Pullman following what relatives described as a meet up that went left. "He said, 'I just want you to know that I love you. ' And the phone went dead, and that was our final words to each other, that he loved me," Warford said.
"And I got in my car and just start riding, and riding, screaming, and hollering... I didn't know where he was at, and all along, he was laying somewhere, needing his momma.
" The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office has yet to identify the second victim killed in the shooting, which remains unsolved. The family says they are planning to hold a vigil on Saturday.
"My brother was going to meet some people that he did not know. The person he was in the car with was somebody he did not know," said Candance McCurdy, the victim's sister.
"Greed, money, envy is the root of all evil, and it's taking too many innocent lives. "
