Mother seeks justice after son gunned down in Tacony

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It's been nearly a year since Nakeifah Williams was gunned down.

His mother is still heart broken over her loss.

"I can't eat, I can't sleep, I can't do nothing I miss my baby so much."

It happened just before 5 p.m. on Friday, July 5th, 2024.

Gunshots rang out on the 7100 block of James Street in the city's Tacony section.

Williams was shot multiple times.

He was rushed to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital where he died hours later from his injuries.

His mother pleads for the gun violence in the city to end.

"It needs to stop. They need to put the guns down and stop killing one another."
