All of these were ways to find meaning and solace in three lives snuffed out in an all-too-familiar American story that began with an angry man with an AR-15.
But coming on the 60th Anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington and his “I have a dream” speech, it was hard for some not to see a larger context as well in the lives lost in Saturday’s shooting in Jacksonville, Fla.
His life was marked by “resilience and positivity, even in the face of adversity,” his brother, Quantavious Laguerre, wrote online.
never had a record, never received a referral in school and never got into a fight,” Quantavious Laguerre wrote on a GoFundMe page.
“He was a kindhearted and gentle soul who loved playing video games and supporting his family and friends.”Ms. Carr and Mr. Gallion both lived lives shaped by their church and family.
