A Mother's Plea for Justice – Help Find Israel’s Killer

On December 8, 2024, my youngest son, Israel, was stolen from me—taken by the ruthless violence of local gangs that continue to terrorize our neighborhoods and recruit our youth into a cycle of destruction.

His life was full of promise, his future bright, until it was tragically cut short-one week shy of his 15th birthday. As a mother, I refuse to let his murder go unanswered. I am pleading for justice, for the truth to come to light, and for those responsible to be held accountable.

These gangs have wreaked havoc on our streets for too long—manipulating young lives, fueling fear, and destroying families. We cannot allow this senseless violence to continue. I need your help.

Your support will aid in an award for information, but more than that, it will fuel the fight to find Israel’s killer (or killers) and bring them to justice. Every donation, every share, and every voice raised against this brutality strengthens our pursuit. If you have any information, please come forward. We cannot stay silent.

Together, we can demand justice, protect our youth, and reclaim our community from the grip of these criminals.

Thank you for standing with me in this unbearable grief and in the fight for justice.
