On Mother's Day, these mothers weren't celebrating. Instead, the women were standing in the streets of South L.A. carrying signs seeking donations for a "proper burial" for their 28-year-old sister.
Porche Charles had been shot to death a week earlier as she was celebrating her aunt's 70th birthday at a family gathering in Hyde Park.
The big boxing match between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao blared on two televisions while people helped themselves to barbecued chicken and ribs, black beans and rice, tamales and drinks. People flooded the house and the yard. At about 11:30, shots rang out from outside the fence.
Cheri Horta, Charles' aunt, shouted, "Is anybody hit?"
