Curry earlier told the Ledger-Enquirer that her client and his family were threatened after Gilyard’s death, with someone shooting into the mother’s home before the boy was released from juvenile detention.
Sounds like a child kidnapping ring.
Gilyard’s mother, Tiesha Gilyard, had said in interviews that she did not think the shooting of her son was justified
Does she think her son's aggravated assault and kidnapping a teenager was justified??? Does she think her parenting was adequate??? These criminals are unfortunately so very self righteous.

Sounds more like a gang trying to get back at a rival, if you ask me. A 22 year old trying to get a 16 year old to go with him and both have guns, using language like "bust one"?
