Dalton Cain Bishop

Age 18

Tuscumbia, Missouri

"LilRedd", a wild child, kind soul

In one photo, he smirks into the camera, wearing a red shirt and black hoodie. His curly reddish hair peeks out from under his hood.

He lived in Missouri with his parents and his two brothers. His friends nicknamed him “LilRedd.” He was known to be “a wild child,” and “a kind soul.” One friend said it was an honor to get to know him.

On Dec. 3, 2018, Dalton Cain Bishop, 18, was killed from a bullet to the chest near Tuscumbia, Missouri. He was found outside the alleged shooter’s home. A loved one crowdsourced funeral costs so his family could “focus on healing.”
