NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - A teenager who was shot near his apartment in the Liberty City neighborhood of Northwest Miami-Dade has succumbed to his injuries, according to Miami-Dade County Public Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho.
Master Nalton Johnson Jr., 16, was shot at the Lincoln Fields Apartments, in the area of Northwest 64th Street and 20th Avenue, Friday night.
Nalton’s mother’s broken heart will likely never mend following the tragic death of her only son. However, helping this grieving mother find the person/s responsible for robbing his life will no doubt bring this family some closure. #SeeSomethingSaySomething #RIPNalton pic.twitter.com/YANR52tuHU
