About a week after a 26-year-old man was shot to death in an apparent targeted attack, family members gathered Friday at the site of his death to mourn him.
“I have no words. I feel numb. Very numb. So, I just want justice for my son,” Karen Gordon, mother of Kaso Gordon, told Channel 2 Action News.
Early last Saturday, Kaso Gordon was killed at an apartment complex in the 2000 block of Old Hapeville Road in southwest Atlanta, police said.
A Florida resident, he had flown in to visit his mother, who lives in East Point.

Surveillance video shows several men getting out of a car at the apartment complex, then firing away. Several shots hit Gordon, who was sitting in a car, the station reported.
The men then got back into a car and left the scene.
“From my understanding, he was dropping a friend off from a club and leaving,” said his father, Diallo-Sekou Seabrooks, a Jacksonville, Fla., resident.
Karen Gordon got a call from East Point police soon after.
“This was just the worst news ever that a mother can feel, and the family as well,” she said.
Atlanta police have not released much information since the initial report.
“The initial investigation,” spokesman Lisa Bender said, “indicates that the victim was targeted by multiple armed suspects who fled the scene.”
No arrests have been made, although police said they are working some strong leads.
“I just want justice for my son,” Karen Gordon said.
