Kerri Gray tells Channel 2′s Candace McCowan she learned during a recent hearing in the case against the two people charged in killing her son, Grayson Matthew Fleming-Gray, that it could be the end of this month or the beginning of next month when a trial could begin.
“I’m out here struggling to breathe sometimes,” said Gray on Monday. There isn’t a day she doesn’t think about her son Grayson and the moments that led up to his death.
“There is only one question that can be answered. It’s, ‘Did you pull the trigger on purpose?’ Because my car was a different color, a different shape, a different size. There was no mistaking me for the person they were after,” Kerri Gray explained.
It’s an answer Gray hopes she will learn when the two people, Dequasie Little and Sharice Ingram, charged in Grayson’s case face trial.

It was in January 2022 when Gray was driving with Grayson in the backseat. When someone shot into her car along Anderson Avenue. She found Grayson slumped over in the backseat.
The case has faced delays. The pair was initially indicted, and then there was a re-indictment filed, claiming they were part of a street gang. Court records show many changes of attorneys, judges and more.
“New lawyers don’t know the case, new victim advocate doesn’t know the case,” said Gray.
After a recent hearing, she’s hopeful in the next six weeks, she will finally be able to get justice for Grayson.
“That little boy will never leave my heart,” Gray said.
