Antonio Prince Rusk

Age 13

Riverdale, Georgia

Classrooms will miss his contagious laughter

He sits, arms crossed, partially obscuring his gold shirt. His face is slightly tilted as he beams for the camera. The photo is captioned “Long Live Tone,” a mantra repeated by family and friends alike.

He had a “glowing smile” and was known for his kind heart and bubbly laughter. During school, he often visited classrooms other than his own, just to say hi.

On April 17, 2018, Antonio Prince Rusk, 13, was found facedown in his home in Riverdale, Georgia, from a gunshot wound.
