FULTON COUNTY -- The mother of a 9-year old boy brutally murdered with an ax is afraid the rest of her family is in danger.

In an exclusive interview Angel Paulder told Channel 2 Action News she isn't convinced the man shot and killed by police is really her son's killer.

Jordin Paulder was killed earlier this month when a man hit him twice in the head with an ax.

Witnesses say the man jumped from a car and attacked the little boy after Jordin pointed out a wobbly wheel on the car as it drove through a Roswell Road apartment complex.

"Jordin just loved cars and he was just telling them that there was something wrong with the car," says Paulder,

When police arrived on the scene they tried to question a man who was acting suspiciously. His name was Santos Cabrera.

When he tried to attack an officer, police opened fired, killing Cabrera.

Angel Paulder believes other people who were in the car are allowing police to believe Cabrera is the killer.

She worries the real killer may come after the rest of her family. So they have gone into hiding.

She is also concerned about Jordin's 7-year old brother. He witnessed the attack.

"He hasn't dealt with it yet. He doesn't believe it's real," Paulder says.
