"She was my baby. She was my loving fighter, always the light of the party and we loved her," said Cheryl Ford, with tears streaming down her face.

On Memorial Day weekend, Ford's 16-year-old daughter, Kyierah Jeffries, should be enjoying the holiday with her proud mom and her family. But she's not.

"It still hurts. I'm just in shock, but I'm trying," Ford said.

Family members are instead mourning and missing Kyierah. The Eureka High School sophomore was shot and killed in south St. Louis two weeks ago.

Kyierah was one of Cheryl Ford's six kids.

"She was outgoing. She was the light of the party and had such a presence. Kyierah loved animals and dreamed of one day becoming a veterinarian. She was well loved," Ford said.
