London Anthony Ira Kidd was 14 when he was shot in East Cleveland, Ohio, on October 11, 2021. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition and died of his injuries the next day, October 12, 2021.

His mother, Garnett McGaughy, turned her grief into activism and founded V.O.C.A.L., Voice Our Children All Lives, aimed at raising awareness about children killed by gun violence. In November 2021 she organized a rally honoring London and other young victims; dozens of community members marched from East 129th Street to East Cleveland City Hall carrying signs and photos.

As of November 2021 the investigation into London Kidd’s murder was ongoing and no arrests had been announced. Does anyone in the East Cleveland area have information about what happened that night or about the investigation?
