The mother of Karon Blake, the 13-year-old boy who was shot and killed on Jan. 7 in Washington, D.C., has spoken out about her son's death for the first time since the tragic incident.
The Wednesday press conference was located at the offices of The Cochran Firm in Washington, D.C., the firm representing Karon's mother, Londen Blake. Her attorneys are Brian McDaniel and David Haynes.
In an interview with ABC News, Karon's grandfather Sean Long, thanked D.C. police for their quick turnaround regarding chargers and hopes more evidence is revealed. "Based upon the information that we have received and the information that has been public, it does not appear that there was any interaction between Karon and Mr. Lewis prior to Mr. Lewis deciding that he was going to discharge his firearm and shoot Karon," McDaniel said.
