Darion Gordon was 16 when he died on May 12, 2018, in Rockford, Illinois. Known as Lil Foe, he was a rapper, producer and student at Thomas Jefferson High School. Friends recalled him as someone who could make people laugh and he had posted music online; his last Soundcloud upload was about a year before his death. In the song Humble he voiced faith and urged non-violence, including the line about putting the gun down.

Darion was accidentally shot in the 1100 block of Fairview Avenue. Investigators described the death as an accidental shooting; there were no arrests, no suspects named and no murder charges filed. His family and community remember his music and positive presence.

Does anyone have information about Darion’s life or the circumstances on Fairview Avenue that could add to the record?
