Christopher Headley, a 20-year-old young man from Miami Gardens, was gunned down on September 8th and now the community is looking for answers.
Christopher was shot four times in the head and chest.

Chris’s mom, Kristina Mahoney, has been calling and emailing Mayor Shirley Gibson about her son’s case, but hasn’t received any word yet.
Miami Gardens has now been dubbed the Murder Capital of Miami.
As Reported By Miami New Times:
Kenya Greene had heard the shots and sprinted outside. The 31-year-old beauty grabbed Headley’s hand. He looks 16 years old, she thought, a baby. “Breathe, baby. Breathe.”
The dreadlocked shooter was nearby. That didn’t matter. She screamed and then began praying: “Our Father, who art in Heaven…”
“Our Father,” Chris parroted in a whisper as blood poured from his mouth and down his cheek.
Fifteen hours later, after a helicopter flight to the trauma center, the young man was dead. That was this past September 9. The TV news didn’t broadcast a word about the murder. It was just one of 160 in the county this year. Newspapers were mum too. Cops never even returned to ask Kenya or her slender, blond-wigged 38-year-old roommate, Charlene, any questions.
“After he passed away, no detective came around,” says Charlene, stamping her feet and pointing at the still-bloody pavement. “Nobody came knocking on people’s doors asking if they knew or saw anything. It just ain’t fair.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with Mahoney family as they continue to cope with this horrible tragedy.
Chris’ mom set up a Facebook page in his honor and you can use the hashtag #JusticeForChristopher on Twitter.
Please join in the fight to bring Chris’ murderer to justice.
