Price said she hasn’t been able to sleep ever since.
“I can’t get the image out of my head,” she said.
Two men were arrested after allegedly fleeing from officers in a white car that matched the description of a vehicle involved in the shooting.
Javari Jones, 19, and 18-year-old Quinton Mayo were arrested and charged with resisting officers.
Neither have been charged with Nolan’s murder, but Miami-Dade Police said they are persons of interest and knew the victim.
“Whoever has done this, I want them to be caught and put away,” Price said.
Price said Nolan had dreams of becoming a scientist.
"He will always live in our memories," she said.
