ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) - Just after midnight on April 10, 2020, life changed forever for family members of Nazim Claytor.
âMy daughter was going to take a friend home and someone just pulled up and sprayed the car,â said Treva Holdren, Nazimâs grandma.
The car that Nazimâs mom, Brittany, was driving was parked on Chapman Avenue. Inside the car was her son. According to Holdren, Brittany was getting out of the car when the shots went off.
CLOVERDALE â The letter-shaped balloons floated skyward in an alphabet of grief Saturday as a family mourned the still-unsolved shooting death of Roanoke toddler Nazim Shimin Claytor.
Mixed among balloons spelling out the boyâs first name were more shaped like the numeral 3 â Nazimâs age when the vehicle he was in was sprayed with bullets one year ago, killing him in his car seat.
And the rainy skies above Old Dominion Memorial Gardens were briefly decorated with more balloons shaped like hearts and others bearing pictures of Spiderman, a nod to the webslinger fandom that had briefly gripped Nazimâs young life.
