Joseph JoJo Cook, 29, was fatally shot on August 22, 2024, during an argument in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. The shooting ended his life and left his children and community to cope with the loss.

A GoFundMe organized by Christine White was created to help cover funeral expenses and provide support for his children. The community marked his death by lighting 39 virtual candles in his memory, a small measure of collective mourning.
