The freshman at North Division High School was remembered by family as vibrant and joyful, with a bright smile and a love for dancing and rapping; they described him as funny, outgoing, and the life of the party.

His death devastated his family and the community and highlighted ongoing gun violence affecting the city’s youth. The family has held vigils and asked the public for information.
