A mother has given an emotional speech at the trial of one of the young men involved in her son's murder.

Suliman Abdul-Mutakallim was shot in the head as he was going home and was robbed of just $60.

Rukeya, Suliman's mother addressed Javon Coulter in court who pleaded guilty to being involved in Suliman's murder. He was 14 at the time.

Rukeya embraced Javon in the courtroom and said she was willing to help him turn his life around. She said, "Maybe the purpose is to save your life.

She also offered to help his mother saying, "Consider allowing our family to come visit you, to work with you..."
