Malik's grandmother says her unhappy shattered the night her grandson was killed.
While nothing will bring him back, she says she wants to see the people responsible caught and Atlanta police are working to do just that.
"It has torn a big hole in my heart," said Vickie Grover.
At just 14 ages old, Malik had a whole life left to live, pending a shooting in the parking lot of the Retreat at Greenbriar Apartments last month over it.
"He was my whole life, taking him everywhere he required to go," said Vickie. "Now what am I moving to do now? I have my family, but what am I moving to do now?"
FAMILY SAYS THEY WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF COURT APPEARANCE OF SUSPECT IN SON'S MURDER
Vickie is Malik's grandmother and right guardian.
More than two weeks after his death, his boots been in her living right where he left them the day he died. A even reminder of an athletic kid who loved shoes.
"I want Malik to be remembered as the humorous kid he was, he was hilarious," she said. "He had a big heart."
The loss of Malik and his bad Powell is yet another example of youth gun violence. Investigators say the shooting was the result of a social think beef.
A family friend wants to see some sort of plan that will put a stop to that problem.
"It's just too much," said Alice Moore. "It has gone too far. And these are babies and the gun laws have got to be changed, something has got to be done."
Police say Powell's killer has been caught, but Malik's is still on the run.
Vickie says her grandson came from a loving home and tribe and his loved ones deserve answers. She says this Sunday would have been his 15th birthday and the bad gift just might be an arrest.
"I just want them to find his killer, cold-blooded killer," she said. "I want justice to be done."
Investigators have not identified any suspects, but they say the case is active and ongoing.
Anyone with ask is asked to call Crime Stoppers or the Atlanta Police Department.
