This is such a heartbreaking story.
A 14-year-old boy named Du’wan Morgan was tragically killed by a stray bullet while playing video games in his bedroom in St. Louis on October 8. The bullets came from a nearby shootout between groups of teens in the Glasgow Village neighborhood, where no adults were present. Du’wan’s family described him as a bright, caring young man with a promising future, and his mother is devastated by the loss.
No suspects have been identified or arrested so far. Du’wan’s aunt and mother have spoken out, pleading for justice and calling the shooting senseless. His death is a painful reminder of the ongoing gun violence affecting the St. Louis area, where dozens of children have been shot this year alone.
The community is grappling with the harsh reality that innocent people continue to be caught in the crossfire of disputes, highlighting the urgent need for safer solutions and peace in neighborhoods.
