In an exclusive interview with ABC News correspondent and GMA host DeMarco Morgan, McSpadden discussed how her life has been over the past 10 years since her son’s death.

“Emotional, sad, heartbreaking … waiting on the promises made by certain officials — and 10 years later, those promises have just become broken promises,” McSpadden told Morgan during the interview.

The grieving mother said one of those “broken promises” was to charge Wilson, who shot at 18-year-old Brown 12 times, with six to eight shots striking him. The pair had an altercation after the teen was accused of stealing cigarillos at Ferguson Market, according to a DOJ report. However, several years later, in 2020, the St. Louis prosecuting attorney decided not to press charges against Wilson.
