Izhaan Scott, 18, was charged with Trevor Gray's murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Tiny Gray is working to turn her son's tragedy into a positive mission, creating Compassionate Warriors of Jacksonville  to help other families of loved ones who were murdered and to promote compassion in the community.

She's created a petition to stop anyone charged with murder from receiving bail.

Recently, Scott was granted a $500,000 bail. While it’s a high bond, Tina Gray doesn’t agree.

She says she can never forgive the person who killed her child.

“He took my kid.  That’s unforgivable to me,” she said.

Scott’s trial is set to begin next week.

Tina Gray is hoping for a conviction and a life sentence.
