A 14-year-old boy was at the wrong place at the wrong time when he was gunned down at a child’s birthday party in a California shooting that left three others dead, including two children, according to his grieving mother.
Amari Peterson was attending a party at a banquet hall in Stockton on Nov. 29 when gunfire rang out in the evening, killing him, along with an 8- and a 9 -year-old, as well as a 21-year-old victim.
“My baby was innocent,” heartbroken mother Kim Peterson told the Stockton Record.
“We were just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Who would have known my baby wasn’t gonna come home with me?”
Peterson described her son as a loving and caring boy who loved sports, including basketball and football.
“I’m just lost for words. Just pray for me, my family, his friends, everybody that came across him. My baby was loved,” the grieving mother added.
