Greensboro, AL - "He was looking for me. He said, Mom they shot me. Mom they shot me, said Deanna Johnson, DeCorrin's mother.
"He was standing at first and then he was covered in blood all on the right side and then all of a sudden he got a little weak and then the blood started oozing," High said.
Johnson was emotional when describing the moments after her son had been shot. Much of her clothing was soaked with her son's blood.
"I just saw the blood coming out of his neck and I couldn't do nothing but hold him and try to rush him to the hospital," she said.
Witnesses says DeCorrin Johnson was celebrating the birthday of his late grandmother in Greensboro. While playing outside, two men began shooting at one another just feet from where the 7 year old was standing. Johnson was struck in chest by a bullet.
They rushed the second grader to the hospital where he was going to be taken to Children's Hospital in Birmingham.
"They did get him stable enough to get him in the helicopter but they had to reroute and take him to Brent because he got worse," High explained.
Decorrion died shortly after.
His family says Decorrion had just finished a football game where he made three touchdowns and he was excited for the birthday party.
"It's senseless and too much. It doesn't make any sense," said Commelethia High, a friend of the family.
High was at the party when Decorrion was shot. She says they were setting up for a birthday party.
Decorrion was in the yard dancing with the other kids when High says two men started shooting at one another.
Hale County District attorney Michael Jackson says the shooting was apparently over a female.
Two suspects, JaPaul Williams and Lavares Jackson, have been taken into custody and are facing capital murder charges.
High says she will never understand how this happened.
The DA says JaPaul Williams and Lavares Jackson face capital murder and attempted murder charges.
They're both in custody of the Hale County Jail with no bond.
