Police are still searching for the shooters. Brown’s 17-year-old neighbor was hit in the side, Channel 2 reported. His condition has not been released.
The shooting left Brown fearing for her family’s safety.
"I know from experience how it feels to bury a child,” she said. “So to think I could have buried my 1-year-old, that was just heartless.”
