"He said, 'Mom, this is Raymond.' I said, 'Boy, they said you died.'"

Karen Robinson was told by police around 2 a.m. on Christmas that her son Raymond had been shot and killed — but just hours later, he called her to wish her a merry Christmas.

“He says, ‘Merry Christmas, Mom,’ and I said, ‘Who is this?'” she said. “He said, ‘Mom, this is Raymond.’ I said, ‘Boy, they said you died.'”
