Singleton says she last heard from her son, Trayquan Knighten, around 9 p.m. on Saturday February 3rd.
"I asked him, is he coming back home and he said 'no not right now why' and I said I want you to take me to Wawa. He said 'I see you later on'," said Singleton.
Eleven days pass with no sign of him. Then on Wednesday, February 14, a friend calls with some bad news.
"They just found his body in the back seat in the back of his Jeep," said Singleton.
The 20-year-old was found shot to death in the back of a dark gray Jeep Cherokee along the 1300 block of 68th Avenue in Philadelphia's East Oak Lane section.

His mother says he had $5,000 on him that was stolen.
"It's just worrying me, I cry every day, I cry every night," said Singleton.
The City of Philadelphia is offering up to $20,000 in reward money for the arrest and conviction of the person responsible.
All you have to do is call the Citizens Crime Commission at 215-546-TIPS.
All calls will remain anonymous.

"Anybody that knows anything can they please just come and report it," added Singleton.
