When my father was killed, I lost all my “friends”. Not one was there for me, except the ppl I was in the marching band with and to this day they are the only ppl I genuinely care for even in our own lives.

The mom seems like a sweet women. And her pain is unimaginable

The fact she wasn't able to answer in time will destroy her more. She lost her child-May she have the support she needs.

Bring this family justice Lord!! It’s sickening and disgusting!!😩

His alleged friends know who did this, and two years later...will not talk. The parents have no closure.

She actually saw her son DYING....PRAY FOR THIS WOMAN....she will NEVER be the same..It's gonna hit her here and there unexpectedly and it's gone make her cry all over again ....That's how it was when I lost my brother ....U can be chilling at the park on a nice sunny ☀️ afternoon and you be like " My loved one SHOULD be here on this nice day "........I pray Lord for her healing ...

He had enough strength to hold on to at least call his mom . That’s love right there.

Poor young man. I am so sorry. The fact of him calling his parents after he was shot for help is heartbreaking for the mom and Dad..because.its devastating for me and I don't even know this family. No regard for human life at all. I am sorry

Ohh my Lord 😔 when I heard her say,he was crawling trying to get to us...I couldn't take it the tears just came out 😭 hearing your child tried with everything they had,is too much to bare.. I hope they are going to be okay and that they are healing ❤️

RIP baby boy. So sad. I met Hope. She is a very good person who was really hurt by the loss of her son

My condolences, I hope his family get justice.

I am so heartbroken and I cannot even imagine what this young man's mom is going through. No parent should ever lose a child, especially so senselessly. The fact that he was "crawling, still trying to get home" is the most excruciatingly sad phrase to ever hear. RIP Deonte. May his mom find some peace (and the gutless killer).

Sickness how life is so precious the people treated as it has no worth.Sending my prayers and condolences.

This poor mom is still suffering and will always have a heartbreak and just to think another mother’s son did it. Rest In Peace young man 💔

You can’t trust nobody I just lost my brother March 28 and the pain is unbearable my heart goes out to the family my deepest condolences 💔🙏🏾

“He was crawling to us” Majority of humans believe in self preservation 😞 so sad 😭

As a mother, my heart just breaks for this lady!!! No parent should have to bare the pain of burying a child!!! This violence has to stop!!!

What always breaks my heart is that a lot of times when people are on the brink of death they always think/call out for their mothers 😭💔 it’s horrible to hear that he was still trying to crawl home

Reminded me of my brother who was killed in Birmingham Alabama after only two weeks there, all,I know is two brothers and a bull digger, was involved , in his rootless murder , oh , how I miss him ,to know him would have been to love him , we are living in perlious, time saints , that have been over #40 years now , and ,I have no closer, as to who committed this henious crime on my brother he was only 26, years old ,and had moved my sister to Alabama, it still feels like it happen, yesterday , how do you take a person life you never knew , Lood have mercy 🙏 and help my family thats left process thin in our mind and ❤️ 's IAM praying for this mother and her family ,and friends rip my child , and may the perpetrator, or perpetrators receive their just due, !!!!

This is so heartbreaking for that baby and his parents.

The no snitching to authorities is like a badge proudly worn until crime comes to our door. Then we wonder why no one speaks up? It is a means by thugs to control our community. My condolences to the family.

The streets don't love anyone. You see their face but you can't see their hearts. The heart is desperately wicked.

Prayers and condolences for this mom and family. May the murderers be captured and may she see her son's murder avenged.

Just so sad... My heart goes out to this young man family.

Rip young man.

People are so inhumane nowadays. Thinking is non-existent. My heartfelt felt prayers and condolences to the family of this young man. The people who did this may have thought they got away with this Galations 6:7. Almighty God sees everything 💝

Praying for her strength

May God uplift her. My heart goes out to her. May God bless you and your family 🙏🙏!!

It's usually the person they on the phone with that gives up their location

seems like a set up ..he was facetiming a girl who knew his location and then he gets shot in a drive by hmm if i was his parents id want that women investigated

May you REST in PEACE, young Deonte...⚘... Prayers and Condolences to ALL who know and LOVE you, and mourn your passing...💞🙏🏻⚘🙏🏻💞

I feel her pain, my brother was shot by a FRIEND. All his day ones, never shown. But the ones we knew as children that we haven't seen in a while, helped with EVERYTHING. OUT OF SIGHT DOESNT ALWAYS MEAN OUT OF MIND. My prayers to her and the family healing

My heart goes out to you and your husband I pray for you both may your pain be eased and know that very soon there will be peace and a resurrection and Our God will wipe every tear from your eyes rev 21:3,4 that's one thing we have in common is we are both waiting for our sons

Prayers are being sent towards them. All my love and hope and prayers go out to that family.

Sad that you gotta pay people to help find the killers when they kids might be next

When the mother said she feel betrayed that's how the streets is people who act like your son's friends aren't his friends for real ‼️‼️

Sorry for the loss of your beloved child. 🙏🏽Ing for your daily strength.

I wanna give her a hug 🥺

God, Thank you for the life that Deonte lived. I pray for the day that the violence stops and people can love each other. Bless this family with the closure they need and continue to hold Deonte in your grace. Amen.

I lost my son to senseless gun violence one month earlier (February 2020) my heart is shattered for this family. I couldn’t imagine if no arrests were made yet. 😪 My son’s accused killers were in custody within hours.

Gang gang gang...check his social media....the killer is on it...
