Mother grieves loss of son shot dead in Atlanta

Police said they are still trying to figure out what happened.

ATLANTA — A mother is grieving after she learned that her 19-year-old son was shot dead so close to Thanksgiving. 

Atlanta police said someone took the young man to Grady Hospital late Tuesday night -- shortly after the shooting.

A family member identified the 19-year-old teen as Braxton Bryant of Atlanta.

His mother, Sharice Bryant, said she believes her son was with his godbrother and his godbrother's girlfriend at the time of the shooting. However, she told 11Alive that she knows limited information right now. 

Sharice explained that Braxton's cousin was recently killed, so this is a tough time for the family. She is asking anyone with information to please come forward. 

"I'm not going to stop until I get justice for my child," Sharice said.
