Nora Sheridan lost her son to gun violence in Milwaukee this year. She calls for justice.

Nora Sheridan has been speaking out against gun violence in Milwaukee for years. This spring, she got the call all parents fear — that her 36-year-old son, Rainier Sheridan, had been murdered, in her own home. Police have still not found the killer. Nora demands justice and pleads for the ongoing violence to end. “Every night, I hear someone shooting,” she says. "Every hour, I think about him."
