Leta Webb was took a bullet in the head and another in the left arm when she answered her door in South Jamaica at 1:35 a.m., cops said. She was rushed to Jamaica Hospital and died a few hours later.

“This was a gang hit. This is a gang retaliation thing," said Eva Usher, 50, one of Webb's five children.

Police sources said they are looking into whether the criminal backgrounds of at least two family members played a role in Webb’s killing.

NO one deserves that over a dispute of any kind.

Woodchoppers are too good for the perp(s).

God bless these poor people, they have no idea how they created what they created, how to stop it or how to get away from it. The cycle just keeps going and satan is smiling with delight. Just awful.

Usher said her mom treated the house she lived in for more than two decades “like a day care for everybody."

Many times you read a news article and go, too bad so sad.

This one feels different, for it has the ring of truth.
A sad story.

At 1:35 am, I’d see who it was on my video cameras, but then I would go back to sleep after telling them to leave.

While I agree with your sentiments one must realize that these people are living under the shackles they themselves created with their constant support for leftist democrat politicians. Her adopted son chose the path of thuggery and now he has caused the death of one of the few people who loved him!!!
