Her grandmother says she just wanted to be friends with everyone.

Her family, though, is not ready for peace.

"No. I don't forgive you. I hold your family responsible. Because they should've been watching you. Whoever handed it to you or you had it, I will never forgive you. I don't care. They can say I'm sorry a million times, I will never forgive any of you. Any of you," Jeffrey's grandmothers said.

As she held a balloon release outside of Bronx Latin School Tuesday evening, the mother said she will never forgive her daughter’s killer.

“He hurt my baby,” Abad said. “No, I don’t [forgive him]. I’m sorry. I don’t.”

As of Tuesday, police have not released that 14-year-old boy’s name due to his age.
