An Alabama teen was fatally shot nearly 12 years after his father was gunned down in a still-unsolved slaying, according to a report.<\/p>\n
Desmon Antwuan McGuire, 17, was shot in the back as he tried to flee from a gunman in a vehicle in Birmingham on Tuesday \u2013 some 11 years and 9 months after his father, Brandon McGuire, 23, was shot dead as he stood outside a home in the city, AL.com reported.<\/p>\n
“I wish it would stop,” Desmon\u2019s mother, Debra McGuire, told the outlet. “It\u2019s not fair to the families. It\u2019s not fair to my other children. It\u2019s not fair to me. It\u2019s a pain you can\u2019t describe.”<\/p>\n
Investigators believe three suspects opened fire on Desmon, who died in front of his 16-year-old sister.<\/p>\n
“He was pleading for me to get home,” said Debra, a U.S. Army veteran. “He was telling me to hurry up and get to him, but I didn\u2019t make it in time.”<\/p>\n
The teen was shot in the foot just one month earlier as he stood in front of the family\u2019s apartment, his mother said, adding that she believes it “could be the same guys.”<\/p>\n
The distraught mother is now holding onto the hope that Desmon\u2019s homicide won\u2019t go unsolved.<\/p>\n
“I just want to have faith in the justice system, in the detectives,” Debra told AL.com. “I feel like I\u2019ve been failed once. Please bring them to justice. He deserves it.”<\/p>\n
