Fighting back tears, the victim’s mother said she wants answers and justice. His family is demanding answers.

“To see your child laying down full of blood, it’s very hard,” the mother said. “It’s a very a hard thing.”

A family friend and neighbor who said she saw Christopher Guillory on the porch is tired of the killing because it’s not safe for children to to be outside.

“He was down on the porch and full of blood,” the neighbor said. “I checked for his pulse. I checked for everything, that’s reasonable for something like that, but he died instantly. Please, y’all. Our kids cannot play outside.”
