May God bless the souls of the angels we lost to gun violence. WE must do better Chicago!— COMMON (@common) February 15, 2017
In the tweet above, rapper, Common, attempts to inspire the city of Chicago to do better. The city’s gang violence will need more than Common’s encouraging words. This is the worst violence we’ve seen in any city in a long time.
In the video below, Lavontay’s aunt, Shaneka Hill, describes Lavontay as a happy child who was full of life. Pray for Chicago.
