Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, 21, was killed in a drive-by shooting on the evening of June 30 while undertaking a summer internship at a congressman’s office in the nation’s capital.

Following Eric’s death, his mother, Tamara Tarpinian-Jachym, 62, never heard from Muriel Bowser, the mayor of Washington DC.

“I never heard from her. Never a letter, never a call. That was a slap in the face,” the married mother of three told The Telegraph. “As far as I’m concerned, she thought Eric was a piece of dirt.

“You couldn’t even have someone pen you a letter and sign your name to it? She has no class.”

The University of Massachusetts Amherst student was one of several victims of gun violence mentioned by Donald Trump as he announced plans earlier this week to take federal control of the city’s police department.
