By Alicia Roberts, CBS Philadelphia January 26, 2022 A Philadelphia police officer whose son was shot and killed Monday morning remembers her oldest son as she asks the community to "stand down" in their quest for justice. Edwenna Ferguson is a 17-year veteran of the Philadelphia police force working in the 12th District. After Tuesday afternoon's news conference, she sat down with Eyewitness News, where she talked about how despite her father being incarcerated at age 5 and her having Hyram at age 15, she was determined to make something of her life and give her son a chance at something better. In a video obtained exclusively by CBS3, Hyram Hill beamed with pride about his mother, Edwenna Fergusen, who despite being a teen mom, beat the odds by graduating from college and serving as a Philadelphia police officer for more than 17 years.
