I personally know Elijah and he's a punk, soft, scared has no Dad. His mom Katie is a drug addict who's kids steal for her habit. Nikki her daughter has no supervision. She is wild. I'm surprised she didn't get in trouble. Pray for these kids. I know you all see Elijah as a bad person but with the streets raising you and a meth head mom what do you want.
Where was he shot?
