"Watch how this boy just took a knife and killed my little boy, my hard working boy who tries and makes sure his mom has that needs along with the rest of my children. And it burned me and burned me that last night I didn't sleep I got up 5:00 I changed my clothes and came out here I can't sleep it annoys my nerves and because I am sick I am trying to hold it that he is gone. I ask God for the strength to hold it."
"Girl I don't know why that little boy killed my son. I don't know if it is envy or jealousy, I don't know what to say because I was tired of telling him stop the treat them to stout and treat them because when you are working, lazy man? Lazy man, they don't care they will drink you out. Come home and come and help me your mom and stay with your siblings and laugh and talk fool like what he likes to do. Because he is always giving jokes, don't care how vex I am vex and I would scold him he would never disrespect me he is always trying to laugh and going down the stairs he and he would say mom stop you are sick and thing you know, yes."
Usher says even she held a friendly conversation with the individual she would later come to know as her son's alleged killer.
Brenda Usher, Mother of deceased
"So I really feel it, I feel it for my baby, I am here by myself with my kids. How will I bury a son? How will they kill my son. How will I bury him? How will I give him a decent funeral? You know I am punishing in my mind, I am talking and laughing but in my mind I am punishing, worrying thinking. I am telling you they hurt me big time they took him away from me, they took him from me. And the same little boy he saw me trying to walk since I had my stroke, and I was going slow with my walking stick and he said Ms B I like to see how you are trying and I told him yes I am trying because I want to get out of this the 26th I have to get out this and like he felt happy for me so I didn't know if he was beefing or if he had any envy against my son I didn't know."
