She says she already lost two sons to violence in September of 2016 and again in July 2017.
"It could happen to you, just like it happened to me and now it happened to my niece, it could happen to anyone of them and they would feel the same way I feel," Gilda Curtis said.
She is begging for anyone to come forward with information about who is responsible for the shooting.
"I want them to come forward, if y'all know something, and y'all see something just tell them! Say something. Why we gotta lose all our children for no reason because nobody wants to talk?" she said.
