A grief-stricken mom is speaking out after her 21-year-old son was gunned down near a park in the Bronx Sunday.
He had a whole life ahead of him, but over the weekend 21-year-old Jayden Goodridge became the city's latest victim of gun violence."Jayden's like the light. Everyone can have a bad mood. Once Jayden gets there, the mood changes he puts a smile on everyone's face," Gay said. "He's just a happy, happy kid. Everyone who meets Jayden will tell you the same thing, he's just a great kid, he didn't deserve to die like that.
Officers said the graduate of Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains had been walking with some friends at 149th and Jackson Avenue in the Mott Haven section of the Bronx, when someone on an e-bike shot in their direction. "Jayden would tell us to keep our head up so that's exactly what I'm attempting to do," Goodridge's cousin Madison Atkinson said."He comes from somewhere you know what I mean? He's just like anybody else, he really comes from somewhere and his life was taken -- ask me for what reason? I couldn't tell you," Atkinson said.
