An Irreplaceable Loss
posted (October 31, 2018)
And in between the disturbing series of events, there is the pain and anguish of losing a child and a cherished grandmother. This morning we found out more about Young and her grand-baby.

Sister
"She was my mom sixth child. She is the one that knows every single individual in the family whose cousins, whose uncles, who is not. You can call a name and she will know that person. She is the most resourceful person of the family. She was not a person who work out, she was a stay at home mom. If you have a headache Louis has the remedy - if you have back pain, Louise has the remedy and she loved children. She is one of the most outgoing person and she tried hard. She loved her grandchildren - all of them and that was the reason why I believe she got custody of those little boys, because they were attracted to her."

Reporter
"Maybe just a little bit about the baby even though he was 5, what type of personality he had?"

Neighbor
"He was one of the sweetest loving child you could find. He smiled with everyone. Whenever we came here he would be playing with his blocks. He use to make all kinds of gadgets with his blocks; he made robots, plane, cars building with his blocks and she would always be chairing him on."

Neighbor
"It hurts. A lot of people cries on the news and say this and that about their loved ones, but when it comes knocking on your door, then you really understand and wake up and say it's something hurt bad."

So what was August doing with the city council backhoe so early in the morning. Well, he is a council employee in the sanitation department.

The council explains that August was on his night shift which usually ends around the time of the incident.
