BUFFALO, N.Y. — Six-year-old Christopher Iverson Jr. is in 1st grade and just by looking in his eyes you can tell he misses his father and namesake 21-year-old Christopher Iverson.
Christopher Iverson was killed when his son was just three months old. He left four children behind.
"I'm just sad because I didn't get the chance to talk to him with my own two lips" said Christopher Iverson Jr.
On August 24, 2013, Christopher Iverson's mother Laurie Baker was on a trip in Washington D.C. Her son was home in Buffalo at their house on St. Mary's road.
In the middle of the night she received a call. She was told Iverson had been shot in his car outside their home.
"He was sitting in his car, he was in the car with a female and my neighbors were telling me that they had heard some arguing outside and she told me she had looked outside and there were four guys out there, and then she told me she heard some singing and after the singing, she told me she heard bullets," Baker reflected.
First responders were able to revive Iverson, and brought him to Erie County Medical Center for treatment.
"He had got shot in the head, in the chest, in the arm and the stomach," Baker continued.
Before Baker could make it home from Washington, Iverson passed away at the hospital.
"He was my everything. He was my oldest son. We spent a lot of time together," she said.
Baker said there were witnesses to the shooting but she says no one is cooperating with Buffalo Police.
"People know, people are just not talking," she said.
"But then you turn around and all these different people are getting murdered and killed and everybody wants answers and if people start talking and speaking up there would be less violence."
Though Buffalo Police are investigating, no one has been charged with his murder, which is something that still haunts the family he left behind.
"I hope that they find out who did this. I hope that whoever did this can turn themselves in," said Christopher's aunt Lena Baker.
"I just need closure. Maybe if I had closure I might feel a little bit better but until then I'm just going to be depressed and living this nightmare," said Baker.
