Mentoria Brazill was sound asleep when she received a frantic phone call from her mother saying her brother had been wounded in a drive-by shooting.
The message enraged her.
"I lost my son in a drive-by shooting two years ago," Brazill said.
"I'm so irate. I feel like confronting whoever did this and taking their heads off."
Brazill, who declined to identify her brother, said he was one in a group of five who had gathered outside the well-kept home on Annabelle to celebrate the birthday of a friend.
"Then people just drove up and started shooting up the celebration," Brazill said.
"These are all innocent people who didn't do nothing to get shot ... but they did get shot."
According to Brazill, the attack occurred at about midnight.
"When I arrived, there were three or four police cars on the scene," Brazill said.
"People said it was a gold-colored Rendezvous that did the shooting.
"Blessings that you recover," Brazill said, raising her hand in the air. "You weren't supposed to be hit, baby."
