Emmanuwell Leigh Nelson
Age 17
Spring Lake, North Carolina
Easy-going boy gone too soon
Just like a family, he and his friends had a close knit group. They hung out with each other’s families and went hunting together. He was easy going and a comedian.
A North Carolina resident, his friends and family called him Eman. The 17-year-old would occasionally post photos on Facebook, capturing what he loved most: good company and a treasured watch.
The tone to these social media posts has taken a different form now. On Sunday evening, Dec. 2, 2018, Emmanuwell Leigh Nelson was shot and killed on Hillandale Drive, in Spring Lake, North Carolina.
