WBFF (Pasadena, MD) — In a heartbreaking interview, the mother of a Pasadena teenager left paralyzed and on life support after being shot in Federal Hill opened up about her daughter’s death.

Cameran Holt, 19, she succumbed to her injuries November 7.

On Friday, the community gathered for a vigil in Pasadena to honor the teenager. Family, friends and neighbors lit candles, listened to music and shared the teenager’s tears and stories.

Earlier, Cameran’s mother, Roxanne Spath, tried to put into words what this week has been like since her daughter’s death.

“A nightmare,” Spath said. “A stone cold nightmare. Every day I’m fine, I can wake up now. I won’t have to climb the stairs in the morning it kills me. I slept on the sofa hoping I would wake up. I face reality again and again.”

Cameran had been turned on life support in Shock Trauma since she was shot in Federal Hill on October 27th.

Spath said the bullet struck Cameran’s spine, leaving the teenager paralyzed.

Cameran was showing some signs of hope until her mother said she had meningitis.

“I kept my hope alive and when this twist happened, it was really hard to wrap my mind around it,” Spath said.

“Did he get meningitis?” Alexa Ashwell asked.

“Yes. It was a very painful hour,” he said

The mother recalled the last conversation with her daughter before she died.

Cameran, she said, knew her time was near.

“The last time he woke up. He woke up and said, “Mommy, I love you.” Why am I still here?:

I said, “Well honey, you’ve made the brave decision to become an organ donor and they’re working hard to find someone worthy of your heart.”

She said, “Okay.” She said again, “Mommy, I love you.”

It was the last conversation Spath said she had with her daughter.

“My heart was really proud of her at that moment. Her last memory. My last memory is of her doing what she did every day and that was giving to others with a smile on her face even though she knew she would never see us again,” Spath said.

Cameran was pronounced dead on November 7.

The mother shared a photo of herself hugging her daughter’s hand after she was taken off life support.

And another image of Cameran’s dog, Rein, participating in the ceremonial “Place of Honor” as a donor is wheeled into the operating room.

“I found some comfort that a 19-year-old woman would have Cameran’s right kidney and that all the transplants were successful,” Spath said.

Cameran’s kind heart transplant was also a success, the mother said.

A gentle soul taken by violence. Cameran’s case sparked outrage in the community.

Family and a witness said Cameran was caught in the crossfire as surveillance video captured at least two dozen shots being fired in the popular district of the city.

A 28-year-old man was also shot. No arrests have been made.

“I’m ready,” Spath said when asked about the investigation. “I’m ready. One thing I practiced in those 11 days was patience and I had the patience to allow things to unfold as they needed to.”

The mother and the community demand justice for Cameran.

“It wasn’t worth it,” Spath said.

A memorial service will be held for Cameran on Saturday, November 16.
