Mother of 6-year-old killed in California road rage shooting
Mother of 6-year-old killed in California road rage shooting pleads for justice: 'It feels like my life is over'
Johanna Cloonan remembered her son, Aiden Leos, as a "kind soul
The mother of 6-year-old Aiden Leos is speaking out for the first time since her son was fatally shot in an apparent road rage incident Friday in Orange, California, and calling for justice as the killer remains on the loose.
"They took my son's life away," Aiden's mother, Joanna Cloonan, told ABC News' Zohreen Shah in an interview airing Sunday on "Good Morning America." "He was beautiful and he was kind and he was precious, and you killed him for no reason. And I want to find them and I want there to be justice to be served for my son."
Cloonan was taking Aiden to school in Yorba Linda on Friday morning when she says a white sedan cut her off abruptly while she was in the carpool lane driving northbound on the 55 Freeway. Someone in the vehicle then opened fire on Cloonan's car, striking Aiden in the back seat.
"As I started to merge away from them, I heard a really loud noise," Cloonan said. "And my son said, 'Ow,' and I had to pull over. And he got shot."
California Highway Patrol Officer Florentino Olivera said the boy was struck in "some type of road rage incident" while sitting in his booster seat. The boy's uncle, John Cloonan, said Friday night that a single bullet entered through the back of the trunk and hit his nephew.
"I pulled over and I took him out of the car and I tried to put my hand on his wounds while calling 911. Because he was losing a lot of blood," Joanna Cloonan said.
Aiden was taken to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
"He meant the world to me, and it feels like my life is over," his mother said. "That was my baby. I've never, never thought pain like this could exist."
Joanna Cloonan was uninjured in the shooting. She was the only other person in the car.
In a press conference Friday, Olivera asked anyone driving on the freeway in the area near Chapman Avenue at about 8 a.m. to call the CHP's Santa Ana office at 714-567-6000.
Joanna Cloonan said she saw a woman driving the car and a man in the passenger seat, but was unsure who fired the weapon at her car.
