Mason Salazar, 20, lost his life July 1 from a shooting.

"We just started screaming and shouting and jumping. And I said, 'It's time, it's time. We have a kidney,'" Cynthia Jefferson, mother of Bryson Lewis, 16, who would receive Mason Salazar's liver, said.
Lewis had suffered kidney failure and went through dialysis.
