“His sons just weren’t, you know, they weren’t ready to accept discipline and it’s very hard for our family, because not only did I lose my brother, we dealing with my nephews as well,” she said. “So this is very hard for us and I just hope that God gives us all strength and everyone pray for us during this tragedy of our life.”

The four teen suspects are facing charges of murder and criminal conspiracy to commit murder.
