"He got two kids, two babies, a year old and a month old," said Pittman as tears streamed down her face. "They will never know who he is, they will never see him again. Why? Why? All I want to know is why."
Police say the shooting happened shortly after midnight at the Alger Meadows Apartments. When they arrived at the scene, they found Pittman deceased.
During a brief pause between tears, Pittman called on the person responsible to turn him or herself in and "get this over with."
Anyone with information is asked to call the Grand Rapids Police Department at 616-456-3400.
