MY HEART BREAKS FOR THIS FAMILY. NO MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TO BURY THEIR CHILD. THIS GUN VIOLENCE NEEDS TO STOP! I REMEMBER HIM COMING TO MY HOUSE AND RIDING BIKES WITH THE OTHER YOUNG YOUTH OVER THE SUMMER. HE WAS A FUNNY KID ALWAYS HAD JOKES.
BLESSINGS TO ALL EFFECTED BY HIS TRAGIC LOSS. REST IN PARADISE.
YOUNG LIVES MATTER. STOP THE GUN VIOLENCE.
R.I.P my nephew Jevon Setal we were both the same age and I practically grew up with since we were babies. I can’t believe someone that is like a brother to me is gone at such a young age. Jevon you are still alive in our spirits I can’t believe you are gone.
