''PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Seven years after Dimitri Perry was gunned down in Providence, his mother is still left wondering who took her son’s life.
The 23-year-old was shot on Nebraska Street in July 2015.
His mother, Annette Perry, remembers that night well; she was on the phone with her son in the moments before he was killed.
“He was telling me that someone was chasing him,” she said. “I kept telling him to come to the house, but he was going to stop at his friend’s house. Then I heard a gunshot and I was like, ‘What was that?’ Then I heard another one, and then the third one … that’s the one that hit him.”
Instead of her son’s voice, Annette was met with silence on the other end of the line.
“I was like ‘come home’ … but he never did,” she said, adding that one of the last things her son said to her was, “I love you.”
