ST. LOUIS _ Bertha Wherry looked at the curb Thursday where her 14-year-old great-nephew died after he was shot in the head one night earlier, and she cried furious tears for a "respectful kid" who longed to leave the city.
"He didn't do nothing to nobody," Wherry said, her voice breaking. "I don't feel it was right. ... I tried to protect (him) as best I could."
Victrail Mora was shot late Wednesday in front of his mother's home in the 2800 block of Gamble Street in St. Louis. Family members say there was a crowd of people standing nearby when he was killed, but they don't know if anyone will speak up to bring justice for "Trail." Police have not disclosed a motive in the attack.
