Seventeen-year-old Lorenzo Moore-Vaughn was killed after being struck by a gunshot while riding in the backseat of a car in Black Jack, Missouri, on July 28, 2018. Lorenzo had been returning from a party with his cousin and a close friend; he was a rising senior at McCluer High School taking summer classes to graduate early and enjoyed basketball with plans to pursue entrepreneurship or forensic science.

The cousin driving, Alfonzo Smith, and Williams both called 911. Lorenzo was taken to a hospital and died the next day. Williams was taken into custody and charged with first-degree involuntary manslaughter; he admitted to firing the weapon and bond was set at $25,000 cash only.

The family had been planning a surprise gift for Lorenzo as he prepared to finish school early. Does anyone have information about the case or knew Lorenzo and can share memories that might help his family?
