Mother of young boy beaten to death shares emotional message on eve of his funeral

“I don’t want my son’s death to be in vain,” Nakeda Martina said. “I will make sure this doesn’t happen to any other child. I will never get over this. I’m going to miss Andre’s hugs, and him telling me I’m beautiful. I'm going to miss his smile, and how animated he was, and how he loved to make me and his brothers and sister laugh.”
