“I haven’t rested just thinking about all these events,” Father Mark Riley of Saint Michael Church said in an interview with 19 News after the service.
Anthony Boothe, Miguel Gonzalez, Jayden Baez, and Angelic Gonzalez were shot in different rooms of a Mack Court home around 7 p.m by a family member, according to police. A fifth victim, Boothe and Gonzalez’s 8-year-old daughter, Eyana, survived and is currently at Metro Health Hospital.
“This is the first time I’ve ever experienced anything like this,” he said. “What do you say? How do you be with the family? Presence was important.” Father Riley hopes that support can continue beyond the day of the funeral, adding that “it would be good to follow up with visits, phone calls, to say ‘how are you doing? Is there anything we can do?’”
“That was heroic and very loving of her, and that will stay with me for a long time,” Father Riley said.
