It's hard for Debbie Sherman to even look at the door to her son's bedroom now that he's gone.
Deepening the pain is that 24-year-old Lloyd Ray, the accused killer, has managed to elude police since the shooting in Lincoln Park on the weekend of St. Patrick's Day.
"It's very hard. I can't sleep. I can't eat," said Sherman who spoke to 7 Action News about losing her only son, 23-year-old Stephen Plitt.
