14 Year Olds Kill Philly Mom Who Tells Them To Get A Job When They Ask For A Cigarette
"My friend came in and got cigarettes, and three young kids followed him. They kept following him and asking him for a cigarette," said Brock Edwards, who was working at the convenience store.
Bailey said the teens followed him, harassing him while he walked the two blocks home to 13th Street. When he got there, Bailey said the 22-year-old Peterson came outside and told the boys to get a job.
"The next thing you know, they just pull out a gun and shoot for no reason. It was just over a cigarette," Edwards said. "Now, my friend lost his girlfriend -- an amazing, amazing girl, and she was such a good mother, too -- and now her child has to grow up without her mother being there."Bailey said he held the mother of his 23-month-old girl, and as she lay dying, Peterson told him that she loved him and their daughter.
