"They didn't know what was going on," she said. "They said they had to move off the block and the next thing they shot my son in the head.”

Werts told the station, "I'm just devastated. I never thought I would be burying my son. I didn't want that to ever happen. I'm by myself now. That's all I have. My other kids are grown. He's my baby. Now I don't have my baby here with me."
