KANSAS CITY, Mo. â Aishah Coppage is all too familiar with loss.
She lost her 16-year-old nephew, Jayson Ugwuh, in January in a shooting. In 2016, her 8-year-old son, Montell Ross, and 9-year-old nephew, Jayden Ugwuh, were killed in a shooting while playing video games at home.
August will mark five years since the death of the two little boys. Coppage is hoping the anniversary will not come and go without justice.

Last Wednesday, a Missouri woman allegedly shot and killed a man who she believed killed her younger brother days earlier.
Tityana Coppage, 21, was charged with the second-degree murder of Kieth Lars, 36, in Kansas City. Coppage believed Lars was behind the January 10 slaying of her brother, Jayson Ugwuh, 16, who was also fatally shot in Kanas City, according to KCTV.
A motive in Jayson Ugwuh’s murder was not immediately made known. WDAF reported that he and two other teens were walking home from a BP gas station when the shooting occurred.
Days after her brother’s murder, Coppage allegedly shot Lars in a parking lot. Lars’ brother drove him a short distance away but Lars succumbed to his injuries before emergency crews arrived, the news outlet reported.
