TBS Today, Nov. 8
For the last few weeks, we've been working on a story about Angel and Jazy, the brothers from Berkeley High School who were killed at a friend's birthday party last year.
On a recent Saturday morning, we sat down with their mother and their aunt and asked them to reflect on the boys' lives, the past year and how they are working to move forward after such profound loss.
What happened to their family is heartbreaking and we have a deep appreciation for their willingness to share their experiences so candidly.
We also wanted to make sure our readers knew about the Jazy and Angel Scholarship fund and how to support it.
Don't miss today's deep dive.
