He also enjoyed singing, frequently performing Marvin Sapp’s Never Wouldn’t Have Made It.

A 19-year-old female and a 9-year-old female were also shot and taken to hospital in stable condition. Authorities have not released a suspect or motive; the Wilmington Police ask anyone with information to contact Detective Joseph Wicks at 576-3654.
