“He kept shooting until he couldn’t no more,” Zion's sister Stanteria Brown said.
Shanteria said she was hit twice. “I got shot in my leg , there’s a bullet still in here,” she said.
Brown and the four other children were sleeping when they heard a loud noise.
“He threw a brick into our sliding door. That’s what woke me up,” Brown said. She said they quickly dropped to the ground.
The shooter hit Brown, her 9-year-old cousin and Zion. “He was just praying to God that God don’t let him die,” Brown said.
Zion was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
The shooting was just one of nine shootings in Jacksonville since Friday. Twelve people were shot and four people were killed.
