JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A Jacksonville mother joined forces with a community activist group on Monday afternoon, calling for justice and asking for help from the community so that police can track down those responsible for the death of her 15-year-old son.
Sonja Huff and Madd Dads went door to door at an apartment complex that was the scene of the fatal shooting that took the lives of Huff's son, Corey Glenn, and 24-year-old Daniel Hawkins last Tuesday.

The two were sitting on a patio at the Highlander Apartments off Monaco Drive when, according to witnesses, two men with hoods -- one wearing a mask -- came up and started shooting.
A week later, police continue looking for the gunmen.
On Monday, Glenn's mother was out in the neighborhood passing out fliers and pleading with neighbors to come forward with any information they may have.
"Help me to find who killed my child," Huff said. "I know somebody knows something that happened to my son. My son didn't deserve to die like that because he didn't live like that."
She walked around the apartment complex, showing her son's photo and hoping someone would come forward with information to solve the killing.
Also, Madd Dads announced it is offering a $1,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest in the case.
"We won't be satisfied until the individuals are brought to justice," said Donald Foy of Madd Dads.
"Please tell somebody to help get the person that killed my son. My son was not a bad boy," Huff said.
Anyone with information about the fatal shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers at 866-845-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward.
