Teen Killed After Years of Threats

A 15-year-old football player and student, K.J., was fatally shot while walking away from a store in Raleigh, after being targeted by a group of bullies who had threatened him for years. His mother, Shardae Jones, revealed her son had received death threats and that her family’s home had been shot at — with 15 police calls since Christmas Eve, mostly ignored. She pleaded that official documentation of these threats might have saved his life. A teacher has launched a GoFundMe to cover funeral costs, as this tragedy underscores the deadly consequences of unchecked bullying and gun violence in communities.
