The grandson of the late Bea Gaddy is shot and killed.

He is the grandson of the late Bea Gaddy, Baltimore's grandmother. Now 31-year-old Antonio Laws is the latest case for Baltimore city homicide detectives.

"I didn't know what was going on, but when I got here I realized what was happening. And what was happening was my son, the only son I had was shot down," said Sandra Chandler, Laws’ mom.

Police say Antonio Laws was killed just a block away from the Bea Gaddy Family Center on Sunday afternoon. Investigators tell family he was shot five times while in his bed and pronounced dead on scene.

"Now a big part of my heart is gone and I don't know why. It wasn't because he was sick or because he was running up and down the streets or doing anything like that. His crime was that he went to sleep that night. He went to sleep that night," said Cynthia Brooks, Laws’ aunt.

Police are still tracking down a suspect and motive. An online check of court records shows Laws was released just weeks ago from jail after being charged with second degree assault and attempted rape. His family says he was getting his life together and he always made an effort to live out his grandmother's mission to help those in need.

"He was a volunteer here endlessly. This past Thanksgiving, we couldn't document the work he did. He worked from sun up to sun down and then beyond. He was putting in 12-18 hour days right here helping us," said Brooks.

Last year alone, volunteers served 44,000 meals during the annual Thanksgiving dinner. Now the family of Bea Gaddy is in need.

"We know the folks in the street have the information. They know what happened. And I'm asking - we help you, now we need you to help us," said Brooks.

Antonio Laws was going to be a father in just a few months. The family plans to bury him next to Bea Gaddy.
