NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A vigil held for a mother of four who was fatally shot was interrupted by gunshots in Liberty City. Police are now searching for those responsible in both incidents.
Four people were shot during the vigil held for 30-year-old Victoria Tutson, Tuesday night.
Latrese Williams’ son was one of four victims shot and transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital. “My son is here. It could have been worse. I could have lost my child,” she said. “I just don’t know what I would have done.”
Williams’ son, an 18-year-old student at Miami Central High School, was shot in the shoulder.
All victims shot at the vigil are expected to be OK.
However, Tutson was shot and killed on Sept. 26, City of Miami Police said, along Northwest 17th Avenue and 65th Street. She was in a car when another drove alongside her before shots rang out.
Police believe the vigil shooting is connected to Tutson’s murder. Miami-Dade Police responded to the shooting located along the 2000 block of Northwest 65th Street, around 8:30 p.m.
Tutson’s family spoke out, Wednesday, and made an emotional plea to the public. “We, as a family, we will never be the same again,” said Tutson’s father, Clarence. “There’s no way we will ever be the same again. She was the fiber of the family. She just was such a lovable person. We are tore up.”
“We just want justice,” said Tutson’s sister, Shakurah. “If you don’t want to do it for us, do it for her children. They deserve it.”
Miami Police released surveillance video of Tutson’s murder, which officials are hoping can help narrow down those involved. A silver SUV was seen in the video, which is believed to be involved in the shooting.
