The selfless mother of 13 gunned down trying to shield a group of children from a gangbanger’s bullets joins her two brothers as murder victims on the blood-soaked streets of central Brooklyn, her relatives told The Post yesterday.
Zurana Horton, 34, who was killed moments after she picked up her 11-year-old daughter, Alexis, from PS/IS 298 in Brownsville in a shooting that wounded two other innocents, has an ill-fated family history that goes back 20 years.
Her death caps an unthinkable triple tragedy for Horton’s mom, Denise Peace, one of whose sons was shot dead in a 1991 robbery and another slain last year.
“All three children died from gunfire,” Peace, a 54-year-old health-care worker, told The Post, begging Mayor Bloomberg: “Please help me find the people who killed my children!”
Horton’s death leaves her children -- who range in age from 1 1/2 to 18 -- without a mother.
