Mother Pleads for Justice After Son’s Killing | St. Louis News

A grieving mother speaks out after her son Ronald Milton, a food truck owner and youngest of nine, was fatally shot in a crossfire outside his business. She’s pleading with a judge to keep 17-year-old suspect Demond Weems locked up, fearing he’ll target her family if released. Weems and Michael Heartfield are charged in the shooting, which involved three men in black vehicles — one allegedly firing from a Dodge Charger. Though Weems’s lawyer claims the gunfire came from another passenger, the mother remains convinced Weems is responsible. A nine-millimeter gun was found at Weems’s home, and the family feels the justice system hasn’t done enough to hold the real culprits accountable.
