"In 2022, they first shot him in the hip and then last year, they shot him in his arm. Every time they shot him, he drove himself to the hospital."
His mother says both shootings were a result of him not wanting to join a neighbourhood gang. She said when he bought a new car, the threats intensified. Williams said her son was strong-willed, and after both incidents, he still refused to take up his uncle's offer to migrate to the US.
