Nana described the day her ex was shot: "We were at this park, when everything broke out, I got to running towards the crowd, because I'm looking for my little brother [Trey]." She added, "gun shots went off, and I just remember this one girl that came up to me and said, 'it's Mario,' and I just looked down and saw him."
