A Loss to the Community

Heart felt condolences go out to the families of Andre Saunders Jr., 32, and Lemarr Wilson, 21 who were killed yesterday in South Side, Jamaica Queens. Being a native from Queens and knowing people from South Jamaica Housing projects, this really hit home for me.

It is so sad to see young black men lost, and what is even sadder is that they were just trying to make a music and art, and they were hindered in the process. Just being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. SMH!

For those not familiar, a shooting occurred just after 4:30 p.m. at 160th Street and 109th Avenue, while a music video was being filmed in broad daylight on Sunday afternoon. The two men were killed in the crossfire, and another 17 year old young man was injured. We need to pay attention, and stop leeching our community of its black men. We have a new president, and we made a change in the White House, let's make a change in our houses now....
