The mother of a 14-year-old Philadelphia boy gunned down during an apparent robbery this week opened up for the first time about her son's death Friday night.
Kelly Wilsey spoke during a vigil in the city's Mayfair neighborhood remembering her late son, Ian.
"He was very tight with me, and somebody took him," she wailed.
The vigil was held at Frankford and Cottman avenues, a few blocks away from where Ian was shot along Brous Avenue.
It was along that street where two men tried to rob the teen as he walked with a friend.
Detectives continue to investigate, but so far no one has been arrested for the killing.

Ian's mother is urging the men to turn themselves in.
"They know who they are, and they sleep in their own beds at night. And they see their mother, and they see their father. I don't see mine...I don't see my baby," she said.
Ian was killed weeks before his 15th birthday.
