FLORIDA CITY - The family of 13-year-old Johvan "Woodah" Taylor is pleading for justice after the teen was killed in a drive-by shooting Saturday evening while eating on his father's porch.

"He was very playful, talkative, likable and respectful. He was a great person. He lit up rooms. He touched everyone," said family spokesperson Jakilah Brady. "If you know anything, please speak up. Any little thing can help. You can remain anonymous. All we want as a family is justice and closure."

Brady described the heartbreak of trying to explain the tragedy to Taylor's 5-year-old brother.
