We now know more about the victim killed in Wednesday's shooting near Texas Southern University's campus. The family of 18-year-old Gregory Warren does tell FOX 26 that they are fighting for justice.

What we know:

Davis spoke on camera with FOX 26 reporter Sherman Desselle the day after her son’s death. At the time, she said she was waiting for the medical examiner to release Warren’s body so she could take him back to Alaska for funeral services. 

"I'm crushed that my son got taken from me at 18," Davis told FOX 26 in an April 10th interview. "He was humble, and he was a lover - he always used to give me hugs. I'm crushed. I just want justice for my son."

Warren had only been in Houston for a few months. His family, originally from Alaska, said he moved here for a fresh start, but now they’re left searching for answers. 

According to Tina Davis' family, her health began to deteriorate after arriving in Houston. She was diagnosed with sepsis and stress-induced heart failure, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital on Friday.
