Father tries to fix system that led to son's murder

Sixteen-year-old James Davon Hill was supposed to be under city supervision when he robbed and killed Kenny Barnes at his clothing shop on U Street.

Hill had a history of cocaine dealing and stealing a car when he was arrested on a charge of possessing a gun in 2000. Instead of sending Hill to juvenile jail, the judge placed him in a group home for teens. Hill kept running away. The system kept arresting him and returning him to the juvenile homes — even after he showed up for court with a bullet wound to his arm.
