Barbara Pritchett-Hughes yells, “Its done. It’s over,” as she slams her son, DeAndre Hughes, casket shut at his funeral on Friday, July 29, 2016. Hughes was fatally shot a week earlier in Compton, California. Barbara said her mind instantly flashed back to nine years earlier when her 15-year-old son, Dovon Harris, was fatally shot in Watts.

The threat of being shot to death remains a daily risk as killings in Los Angeles county rose 27.5% in 2016 compared to the same period last year.
