Latanya King is no stranger to violence.

Eight years ago, her 22-year-old son Byron Ulrick Pritchett Jr. was killed in Birmingham over $5 and a pair of Jordan.

The wounded Pritchett, jumped, robbed, and shot in Birmingham’s Collegeville community on Sept. 29, 2016, was able to call his parents as he lay bleeding waiting for paramedics to arrive,

“He was just calling my name,’’ King said in a 2016 interview with AL.com. “I said, ‘I’m on my way to the hospital.’’

He died less than three hours later.

It was a phone call King will never forget, just like the one she got Sunday morning from her daughter telling her that Brandon Nation III, her 5-year-old grandson, had been wounded by gunfire.

“She said, ‘Brandon’s been shot,’’ King said. “I thought she was saying it was his dad, but she said, ‘my baby.’ I was thinking it can’t be Brandon III because she doesn’t even let that baby go outside.’’’

Like King’s son, her grandson was dead at the hospital within three hours.

“It’s been hard,’’ King said. “I will never get over it.”

The deadly shooting happened at 10:15 a.m. Sunday in the 500 block of Seventh Avenue North.

Three people are charged with capital murder in Brandon’s slaying. The gunfire also wounded the 25-year-old man who was cutting Brandon’s hair and who police say was the target of the automatic gunfire unleashed on the Bessemer home.

Kendrick Rondell O’Neal, 26, Tatyonna Estacia Smith, 24, and Kedarrius Odell Mack, 25, are charged with capital murder and attempted murder. Authorities have not said why the adult victim was targeted.

O’Neal and Smith are being held without bond in the Jefferson County Jail. Mack remains at large, and is believed to be in the Dothan area.

Brandon’s other grandmother had taken him to the adult victim’s home for a haircut, which was taking place in an enclosed front porch.

Authorities said O’Neal was accompanied by others when they pulled up to the home with the intention of killing the adult victim. Three people got out O’Neal’s vehicle and opened fire with automatic weapons into the enclosed front porch.

Brandon was struck in the head. He was taken to Children’s of Alabama, where he was pronounced dead.

The adult victim was taken to UAB Hospital with critical injuries.

Police said dozens of rounds were fired. Several other people were inside the home but were not injured.

Family and friends gathered at Birmingham’s Railroad Park Thursday night to release balloons in Brandon’s memory.

His mother, Latifah King, tried to speak to the crowd gathered there but was too distraught.

Brandon’s grandmother, however, remembered happier times with the child, who was the second-to-youngest of Latanya King’s eight grandchildren.

“Brandon was a good kid,’’ King said. “He was going to make you laugh.”

“And he was a ladies’ man,’’ she said through her tears. “He was going to take your lady, go outside and get her some flowers.”

Brandon was in pre-K at Fairfield City Schools. He loved Spiderman, dancing, and McDonald’s Happy Meals – especially the toy.

“I just keep hearing him say he wants his McDonalds,’’ King said. “I see him jumping around in his house. I try to go over there and stay but I can’t because I see him everywhere now.”

The family has yet to make sense in the senseless shooting and said they don’t know the answer to stopping gun violence.

“Ain’t too much we can do out here on these streets,’’ King said. “Keep your children close to you. Don’t let them go nowhere.”

She said the family is grateful for arrests, but said that erase, or even ease, the pain.

“It’s good to know the people that done it is not out here to hurt nobody else’s grandbaby or child,’’ she said, “but we’re going to always remember this.”
