An 18-year-old Varina High School student was shot and killed while driving on Interstate 64 where it meets I-95 in Henrico County, and his mother is pleading for answers about what happened to her only son.

"This is what my son wanted. He wanted me to fight for him," said Makeda King, who continues to grieve the sudden death of her son, Naseem King.

State police say Naseem was driving on Interstate 64 on June 1 early in the morning when he was shot at the I-95 split. The bullet went through his heart.

According to police, at least two others were in the car with him. They were not injured. State police have questioned them both about what led up to the shooting, but details are sketchy at best.
