Mother Desperate For Son's Murderer To Be Caught

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ―
Christopher Williams was murdered while doing his job last month.
Williams delivered his last pizza to a house in Braddock.
"A part of me is gone," said Loretta Williams Miles, Christopher's mother. "I feel a part of me has been ripped. It's a tugging, a constant tugging. It's a feeling only another mother could understand by losing a child."
Willams Miles' life abruptly changed a little more than a month and a half ago when her 36-year old son was gunned down while delivering pizzas.
Police think it was as a botched robbery. Williams was shot in the back of the head and he had $90 in his pocket.
"Sometimes my son might whisper to me and say - mom, you can do it. You can do it."
Williams also leaves behind his wife, Lydia and a 12-year old daughter. The two were married last October.
"Well, I never thought it would touch my family, cause I pray all the time," Williams Miles said. "Lord, take care of my children, keep your hands of protection around them. I believe that when I pray, but, it happened."
Williams Miles cherishes the flag the army gave to her after her son was laid to rest in the honor section of the Homewood cemetery.
"I want to make a plea to the public - to anyone with any information on the shooting death of my son - Christopher James Williams - to please come forth," Williams Miles said. "I and my family are very devastated."
Her message to her son's killer is a short one.
"If you were big enough to do the crime, you should be big enough to do the time," Williams Miles said. "Come on and turn yourself in."
