Annie Elise

She had been shot in the upper chest, and she had a very faint pulse.

She wasn't moving.

She wasn't responding to anyone.

And you could hear some of the neighbors, who at this point were more like family to AJ, they were just begging and pleading with her to wake up.

And at the same time as AJ was being loaded up into the back of an ambulance and being rushed off to the hospital, the police were handcuffing Susan.

Now, the fact that AJ was shot in general is heartbreaking, but what's even worse is that Isaac and Izzy saw everything.

Izzy was standing right next to her, and Isaac was close enough that he saw everything as well.

He heard the gunshot, he saw his mom fall to the ground, he saw his little brother, his 10-year-old brother panicking, things that no child should ever have to see.

According to Isaac, this moment is something that haunts him for many reasons, but mainly,

because he feels responsible for his mother's death.

He's told his loved ones that he regrets not knowing how to perform CPR on her, and he feels like it's his fault that she died.

Which, can you imagine that incredible weight and burden that these young boys are carrying because of the actions of this woman?

Because the reality is, Isaac performing CPR on his mom likely would not have helped.

And I believe another neighbor actually did come over and tried to perform CPR.

So you can't tell that to a 12-year-old little boy and expect them to process it.

And guilt is a huge part of anyone's grieving process, especially when you add in all these other awful factors.

But the burden of that is heartbreaking to think about.

Phyllis, one of the neighbors that I know I mentioned earlier,

she recalls hearing a loud bang at her front door.

When she opened the door, she saw that it was Isaac, a boy that she knew, a boy that she loved like her own.
