A year after her son was murdered while playing basketball on the Fox Hill Park, Sonia Kemp said the pain still remains fresh.
Shequille Demeritte, 19, was among four people murdered on the park during a mass shooting on December 27, 2013.
Eric Morrison, 49; Claudzeno Davis, 37, and Sheniqua Sands, 30, were also shot and killed.
Describing the night, Kemp said, "I knew something was wrong with my son.
"My husband was sitting in the bed and I turned to him and I said "[He] went to the shop".
"I just stood there. I froze right where I was at the ironing board and I heard screaming.
"It sounded like a warzone outside and people were screaming outside and I said something bad has happened.
"I started running down the stairs and by the time I got down the stairs and there was a little boy who was knocking on the door and I opened the door and he said, 'Are you Ms. Kemp?'
"I said yes and he said they shot my son in his head."
According to police, occupants of a dark gray Honda drove to the Fox Hill roundabout and shot into a crowd.
The group was gathered near the Fox Hill Original Congos Junkanoo shack waiting for the Boxing Day Junkanoo results for the B group category.
Seven other people were shot that night.
Kemp said her son was a good boy.
"He studied, he graduated with a 4.0 GPA," she said.
"He knew everything that he wanted in life. He was 19; he had his own business and he was going to make a contribution to society."
Kemp said she always taught her children to believe in God and obey their parents and they were promised a long and happy life.
"[He] obeyed God," she said. "He obeyed God and someone still killed him."
Kemp believes that crime stems from the home.
"You can't blame the government," she said. "You can't blame the pastors. They don't live in your house. If each one of us will deal with our own household we would have a better society."
She added, "One day I'll see my [son] again."
