WATCH: “They Just Murdered My Granddaughter” — Grief-Stricken Grandmother Cries Out After Villa Double Killing

“They just murdered my granddaughter… I would do anything to bring her back.”

Those were the anguished words of Blondelle Hopkins, the grandmother of 17-year-old Brianna Clark, as she struggled to process the devastating loss.

Clark and her boyfriend, Omari Lewis, were gunned down in a brazen attack on Hanns Street in Villa earlier today, sending shockwaves through the community and leaving families shattered.

Hopkins, overcome with emotion, described a pain no family should have to endure, as loved ones grapple with the sudden and violent loss of two young lives.
