CANTON, Ga. — Nearly a year after a double homicide shook everyone in a Canton community, police say they have arrested everyone involved.
The double shooting happened in June 2017, and Tony Samples and Will Randall were killed in what police said was a gang shooting.
"I was scared for my life," Hannah Weisse, Samples' cousin, told Channel 2's Matt Johnson.
She said she will never forget the night she witnessed the double shooting that killed two of her loved ones.
“I have to remind myself every day that my cousin is not going to call me,” Weisse said.
This week, Canton police arrested Bryson Miller, the last of 13 people accused of carrying out the killing.
But closure is complicated for Weisse as she pushes back against how authorities have called the shooting gang related.

“it was wrong place, wrong time,” Weisse told Johnson.
She said she doesn't want either of the victims, especially Randall, to be remembered as gang members.
“If anything, he was anti-gang. He came from Baltimore to get away from that life and to do better,” Weisse said.
Authorities said the accused killers are affiliated with a gang and the shooting happened during a confrontation between opposing groups.
Earlier this month, a grand jury indicted 13 people in connection with the murders, including Temarlos Turner, Weisse's fiance.
While police are confident they've arrested all who are responsible, Weisse said she has more work to do to find her own closure.
“There's people in jail that shouldn’t be and there's people out of jail that shouldn’t be,” Weisse told Johnson.
All 13 defendants are set to be arraigned next month.
