La’Tasha was gunned down on the street in broad daylight in front of her eight-year-old grandson.

She was shot after she tried to stop the boy from stealing her daughter’s car.

She had been driving with her grandson when she spotted the teen driving the stolen car with multiple passengers inside. She called 911, and continued to pursue the vehicle in her own car.

But police said the boy then emerged from the car, walked over to the vehicle Tasha was in, and shot her dead.
