Ronald Hives, 7, saw his mother shot to death Saturday morning.
He does not remember hearing the shots ring out in rapid succession outside the family’s Bartram Village apartment in Southwest Philadelphia.
But he remembers the blood on her body and the blood splattered on the wall.
He also remembers the last words the suspect — his father — called out to him as young Ronald and his mother, Ruth Angel Hayes, tried to flee the third-floor dwelling in the 2700 block of 56th Street.
“Go to your grandma’s house. I am going to kill your mom.”
