Family of Murdered Woman says Black Females are Targets
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Candles and stuffed animals mark the spot on Haines and 31st streets where a young woman's body was found nearly a week ago.
Kalil McCoy's family says it's her, and they are planning the 19-year-old's funeral. The crime is unsolved.
"I worry about her safety," Alice Williams said of her 5-month-old niece she was holding in her arms.
SLIDESHOW: McCoy Vigil
Williams is from the area. She already worries about her little niece. And some say there is a good reason for that.
"Black women are being targeted by black men," said Mikhail Muhammed, Kalil McCoy's uncle.
