James Emuel Sullivan was a 14-year-old Black freshman from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, who was shot and killed on the evening of December 17, 2020. Friends and family remembered him as devoutly religious and active at Christ Temple Apostolic Church, where he played drums and helped in the media room. He worked at Hardee’s, mowed lawns, walked a neighbor’s dog for extra money, and often helped his mother care for his younger sister.

Few public details have been released about the circumstances of the shooting, and no information about arrests or identified suspects has been provided. His death left his family and community grieving the loss of a promising teenager who had been looking forward to getting his driver’s license.
