Billy Murphy, the lawyer for the Gray family, released a statement Thursday night, saying in part: “…she is still mourning the loss of her son.
The family asks that you continue to pray for her and for them.”
Freddie Gray, 25, was arrested back on April 12. He was critically injured when taken into police custody and died a week later, triggering unrest throughout the city.

Gray was later taken to a hospital and died one week later from a severe spinal injury, and his death eventually lead to a riot in Baltimore.
“I want you to get justice for my son, but don’t do it like this here,” Darden said during the city’s
chaotic period.
The city of Baltimore recently awarded Gray’s family $6.4 million in a civil settlement. Darden is expected to receive $5.36 million of the award money, according to The Washington Post.
Murphy said in September that “Money won’t bring back Freddie Gray.”
Six officers were indicted for Gray’s death. The officers will have separate trials, with the first beginning on Nov. 30.
