A mother’s fight to find her son’s killer

Shamayim Shu Harris, better known as Mama Shu, has been called a pioneer in her community. She’s actively making things better for others but now she says she needs help.

“I just can’t sit around here and I have to get to the bottom of this. This is a shooter that’s just out here, just shooting people,” said Harris

She worries it’s just another black man killed in Highland Park and police aren’t making this case a priority.
