Voice of: Radiance Flowers - Common-Law Wife of Deceased
"I heard the noise outside, I got up and opened the door. When I opened the door, I heard someone say that a man got shot, but I never thought it was him. I stood up by the door. The people ran out that way, and when Shaneal came this way, I heard her say that it was 'Card' they shot. And I know that he hangs out there, so I hurriedly put on some close and I left. When I got out there, a young lady met me and told me, 'Don't feel too bad, but it's your man who got shot.' I didn't believe because when I left here, another girl from around here said, 'Radiance, don't worry. It's not Franky. I went by where the police were so I was investigating. So, when I saw a next young man, and from the time he described the close that he got on, a camouflage pants, a red shirt, and a slippers, I already knew it was him."

Monica Bodden "So when you got to the hospital, he was already dead?"

Voice of: Radiance Flowers "He was already dead. I grabbed him and I was trying to talk to her, he just opened his right eye, like he wanted to say something. I asked him why he did this to me. I wouldn't swear for him, because I don't know what he does when he is out there, but at home, we used to have our problem. But, he is a good person, hard working. Everybody said that about him. He comes home and brings what he got, and he only hangs out with friends. And I used to talk to him, but he doesn't listen to me. I don't know why they did that to him though, but God knows. I would just want to meet the young man who did that to him and just ask him why he did that to an innocent person. I am not working."
