“AHHHHHHHHH!!!!” That is the first thing fifteen year old Samantha Taylor heard at 6:04 on a Wednesday morning. Again she heard “AHHHHH!!!” Then she heard a different noise BOOM ! BOOM! GUNSHOTS ?!?!? Sam thought to herself. Quickly she ran out of bed to get her mom. “I’m right here, are you okay?” said her mother. Her mother peaked out the door and saw their next door neighbor lying on her knees on the pavement crying and screaming her heart out. “Are you okay?” said mom. Kerri responded in a way that you could not understand, “mmmmbbbb..tttttjjjjj..AHHHH!”
Samantha and her mother were surprised to hear the part you could understand, “He’s dead!!!!” Samantha’s mother, Sarah Taylor, was so shocked she could barely speak.
“Who’s dead??!!!!”
“My daddy he’s dead!!!!”
Samantha and her mother’s jaw dropped all the way to the floor and both were covered in tears. Finally her Grandmother got up and Sarah explained it to her. Grandmother went into the apartment next door and found the body in his bed.
