Darrius Murray, 28, was shot and killed in Jacksonville, Florida, on October 2, 2023. His death is the latest in a string of gun-violence losses for his family: he was the third son of Daryl Crowden to be killed. Crowden’s older sons Devron Crowden and Ra’Kwon Backley were killed in December 2014 at age 16 and in August 2017 at age 19, respectively.

In response to these tragedies, Crowden started an organization called Janitor for Life to mentor young men and to warn about the dangers of gun violence. He also takes part in community rallies and advocacy events aimed at helping survivors and pushing for policy changes. No arrests or resolution in Darrius Murray’s case have been reported.
