A Pierce County mother grieves for her only son who was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting last week.
The suspected shooter made his first appearance in court on Friday afternoon.
Prosecutors said 23-year-old Alexander Kitt is the gunman and he may have been trying to retaliate for an earlier shooting, but investigators say the victim may have been shot by mistake..
“I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how I’m going to go on without him,” said Brandon’s mother, Elladell Morris. “He took care of me, he took care of his grandmother.”
Brandon Morris, 19, was shot near South 45th Street and South Puget Sound Avenue in Tacoma on May 1. Prosecutors said Brandon and his group of friends were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“It was a total random act,” said Elladell. “Two seconds sooner, two seconds later and he would not have been involved.”
