Ahmar Duboise Willis Jr.
Age 16
Fairfield, California
He never made that evening’s concert
His friends called him “Marz.” His church leaders called him “Boze.” He was a goofy teenager who made life brighter.
The day his sister left for college, they had a water fight. For his best friend, he’d always have a brotherly handshake. At school, his teachers noted his smile and eyes. At church, he started writing music.
Ahmar Duboise Willis Jr., 16, planned to attend a concert on Aug. 24, 2018. Instead, he was shot and killed in Fairfield, California. Two suspects, one of whom fled to a nearby high school that had to be locked down until he was found, were taken into custody.
