Claudia Miller Negron cannot understand the murder of her grandson. JoJo, whom she called JoJo felt more like her son.
“He was with someone else. They were walking around, I guess shopping, and these people, whoever they were, I don’t know because I don’t recognize them as being a friend or anything, they were following them”She spoke. “They were leaving and they confronted him and asked about a gang affiliation. He wasn’t in a gang.”
Police said that a 15-year-old girl was found in a bathroom next to the food court and was also shot in her wrist. Her condition has stabilized since then. Police claimed she was an innocent witness who was not involved with the conflict between Matias Valdes.
