Ten-year-old Jayden Smith was caught in gang crossfire outside his home in January last year.
The Western Cape High Court on Thursday sentenced a gangster from the area to life behind bars.
An emotional Chantel Boltman says Sefiro Petersen destroyed her life when he killed her only son.
She adds her two daughters, ages two and five, miss their brother and often speak of him.
“The one has a resemblance to Jayden and every day I must look at her face and it breaks my heart. She still remembers the shooting and still asks why they killed her Jayden.”
