“I was sitting in the house. We heard gunshots, thinking they were fireworks,” said Kenisha. “And that’s when I saw the young man lying face down on my porch.”

In all, three young men, ages 18-21, were shot and left bleeding on her property. And the young man on her porch later died at the hospital.

Atlanta police say it was a drive-by shooting with the young men as the targets. Police added that the suspects were inside of a white sedan.

“No one should be burying your children. It’s the second day of the year,” said Kenisha.

So now, Kenisha is left cleaning up after a shooting at her front door, and a bullet hole in her car.

“I pray who did it gets caught. It has to end at some point. Too many parents are burying their children. Too many children are burying their parents. It makes no sense,” she said.
