WARREN — The mother of Trelyn Glover, a 17-year-old shot seven times Friday night in Warren, said Tuesday that he’s alive but struggling from his injuries.

“God is good,” Tiera Glover said, recalling the night she got the call about her son.

The single mother of five said she was relieved that none of the bullets hit vital areas that could result in her son’s death.

The shooting occurred in the area of Ferndale Avenue and Sweetbriar Street SW. No additional information was provided by city police, who continue to investigate.

Tiera was asleep, having finished her work shift earlier that day.

Moments after the shooting, her phone began ringing with calls from her 18-year-old son, who witnessed the shots fired at his brother that night.

Unable to be reached, eventually Tiera said her mother showed up at her home to give her the news.

“I was terrified, scared at home by myself with the youngest of my three children,” Tiera said.

By this point, Trelyn already was en route to Trumbull Regional Medical Center’s trauma unit.

His mother said they hurried there.

Since the shooting, Tiera said she’s been at the hospital every day checking on her son’s progress. She disclosed that while his vitals were spared, one bullet tore through his leg, shattering his bone in the process.

“He’s struggling,” Tiera said.

She’s not sure when her son will be home. He had surgery to place a rod and screws in his leg to support the damaged bone as he heals.

“That’s something he’ll have to carry in his leg for the rest of his life,” Tiera said. “He’s a good kid, a father to a 9-month-old son and doesn’t deserve any of what happened to him.”

She’s shocked how quickly her son’s night turned ugly, saying he was only in the area to drop off a friend when shots rang out.

From her understanding, Tiera said her son was mistaken by the shooters to be someone they were after, and he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Trelyn was driving a new car his mother said he had spent months working in a fast food job to save for.

“Now, it’s sitting at the Warren police station as evidence, riddled with bullets,” his mother said.

Tuesday was her first day trying to regain normalcy by going back to work. She’s upset about the senselessness of what happened to her child.

“Kids today have no empathy. You can’t just go around shooting and then not caring how you affect or alter the lives of the people on the other end,” Tiera said.

The incident has left the Warren native uncertain about how she feels about the city where she grew up.

“We didn’t have these things happen back when I was child. I don’t feel comfortable here and it’s not a place to raise a kid,” she said. “I just want the police to find the person who did this because my son doesn’t deserve this.”
