Bryant's family said Juju's gone through a lot in his young life as he lost three of his closest relatives.
"He lost my aunt. He lost my auntie. He lost my grandma," said Erica Holt, Bryant's aunt.
Juju's father said he has no idea why someone would shoot his son.
"He was hanging in the wrong place at the wrong time. That's all I could see it could be," said Bryant.
The teenager's family hopes the community can help find who is responsible.
"Can you guys please give us some answers and tell us what's going on? Who is the person that shot, just please give us some answers. We're begging you guys."
