The victim’s family were “seeking justice” for his death, according to Fox 46. In an interview with the outlet, the family said they were looking for answers as to why the boy was shot in the first place.:
“He was my world. He was my mom’s world. He was the most caring person in the world,” Rotisha Geter, one of Terreon’s sisters.
For Terreon’s family, there is shock and sadness and a real sense of loss.
“I just wish I could have my brother back. I would do anything to have my brother back,” [said] Tia Geter, Terreon’s other sister.
Tia and Rotisha spoke with FOX 46 about their brother, so young, just 14-years old and so loved.
“He was on his way to high school. He was going to be a freshman,” Rotisha said.”
Speaking with Channel 9′s Ken Lemon, Geter’s grandmother, Patricia, said she was praying for the shooter who killed her grandson, and promised, “I won’t do anything to you, but you will suffer. You will pay,”
“She said she doesn’t want the shooter to die the way her grandson died, but she does want justice.
“I’m hurting. I’m trying hard not to show it,” Patricia Geter said.
She said she remembers the last conversation she had with Terreon last week.
”When he left out this door here, walked out and he say, ‘Grandma I love you.‘ I said I love you too Terreon,” she said. “Just a baby, 14 years old.”
She said she’s not sure what happened at the strip mall that day, but she said Terreon was friendly with everyone, maybe the wrong people.
“By him just being nice and kind a lot of people gathered around,” she said. “Everybody’s not your friend.”
She said the violence is senseless.
“Nonsense. I mean who would just shoot you in the back of the head?,” she said.”
