“Let’s be real, some of these kids are lost. They’re lost in the street,” Nelson said. “If we can just save one or two of them and bring them back in, and for the younger ones coming up, let’s try to get them and reel them in to save them and stop this stuff from happening. These kids are killing each other.”
She’s asking anyone with information about Tuesday’s shooting to come forward to police or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
