Winnipeg police are releasing new information about a cold case to CTV News, hoping to catch the killers of 16-year-old Kyle Earl.

Kyle Earl was shot to death during a particularly violent two days in the West End last May.

Earl's mother now says she believes her son knew the end was coming.

"The gangs took my son and the drugs took my son," says Brenda Earl.

Kyle Earl was gunned down in front of a Toronto Street home. His friend was shot in the leg.

The next day, there was more bloodshed. A friend of the victim, looking for revenge, shot two innocent girls inside their Victor Street home.

Only weeks before, Kyle Earl warned his mother that things were about to get violent.

"He said, ‘Mom, there is going to be a blood bath,' and I said, ‘Kyle what are you taking about?'" Brenda Earl recalls. "He said, ‘There is going to be a blood bath between the gangs.'"

Unlike many parents, Brenda Earl is extremely candid about her son's past.

The 16-year-old spent time in and out of police custody for selling drugs and stealing. Before he was killed, he had switched gangs.

"I think that's what took his life," Brenda Earl says.

At the time of the shooting, about five teens were sitting on the porch that was fired on.

Homicide detective Wes Rommel says the group was possibly targeted by a rival gang using a getaway car.

"They exited that vehicle nearby and attended to the area on foot and at that point several shots were fired," Rommel said.

The homicide unit is now releasing new details about the vehicle, hoping that will lead to information that will help close the case.

Police are looking for a white, midsize, four-door car with magnesium alloy wheels and tinted windows. They are asking that anyone who knows about a vehicle that fits that description to contact police.

"Do the right thing," says Brenda Earl. "Kyle was my only child. I miss and love him so much and I just need closure."

Brenda Earl was a single mom. She raised her son alone, trying to keep him on the right path using tough love. She took away his house key and even calling the police about him.

"He was mad at me for that," Brenda Earl says. "I said, ‘I don't want to see you dead.'"

Now Brenda Earl is reaching out to teens, speaking at group homes and trying to give them a message her son ignored.

"It has to be stopped," she says. "There are too many children dying for no reason."
