posted (September 18, 2017)
And while that was a murder - there are two other city shootings to report.

Aaron King was at a party yesterday in the Buttonwood Bay area when he was shot a total of three times, twice in the chest and once in the right shoulder. King was rushed to the KHMH where he is in a critical condition tonight. We met his family there this morning and his sister spoke to us about the senseless shooting.

"While at the party two men came on bikes identified as the young man listed and first they rode past and then they said they called my brother by his name one of them and he came off the bike and he shot my brother at close range and when my brother ran he ran down behind him yes and then he shot him two more times."

"Do you know why someone would want to target him?"

Shakera Young
"Based on my discussion with him early this morning he is not he is still shocked at what happened and he himself is not able to identify what was the cause because he does not have that kind of confrontation with people per say to trigger such actions."

"I must say from since I lost my son it has been a journey for us but as family I can say we have grown because you see the tragedy what it did to us was it brought us closer and now something like this happens we are still together and we would see everyone come together."

King was moved to the ICU and remains in critical condition at the KHMH.
