Family members are demanding justice for the victims of a deadly mass shooting. Kadejah Williams, 22, her infant son, Tedashi and 18-year old Xacia Burnem were all shot to death Sunday night near the Cleveland Arms Apartments.
The gunman responsible for their deaths is wandering the streets, and police are ramping up their efforts to keep the community safe.
Both Mayor Lenny Curry and Sheriff Mike Williams promised to renew their efforts to tackle violent crime.
"I will tell you when I got the news last night, I continue to be mad as hell. This has to stop," Curry said at a news conference Monday afternoon.
Pastors have since echoed their concerns and are planning a news conference Tuesday morning.
The families of the victims, they just want answers.
“My family, our hearts are broken. Our hearts are broken,” Wilma Alexander said.
You can see the hurt in Alexander’s eyes and hear the pain in her voice.
"It was uplifting to hear the mayor, to say he was mad as hell, I was glad to hear that, I truly am," Alexander said. "I'm mad as hell too."
It’s been just one day since her granddaughter Kadejah Williams and great-grandson Tedashi Williams were shot and killed near Cleveland Arms.
“I just lost a granddaughter and a great-grandson. I lost two, I lost two at one time,” said Alexander.
It’s a nightmare Alexander said she wishes she could wake up from after hearing the news early Monday.
“I’m going to work and my son-in-law called me, saying my granddaughter was killed,” Alexander said.
On Monday night, people from the Moncrief neighborhood met at Simon Johnson Park, offering up words of inspiration.
“I came here tonight to speak for her, to speak for my family. My family is devastated,” Alexander said.
“You think I would have ever imagined, this would have happened to me? Never! Never!” Alexander said.
