Kahlil Alston
Age 18
Baltimore, Maryland
He was always there for her
He wrote his girlfriend letters from jail. After he got out, they sat together, his arm draped over her knee as he reread them.
She remembered how he was always there for her whenever she needed him.
In an Instagram tribute post, she wrote, “All he did was play and stay out of the way.”
Kahlil “Lil” Alston, 18, was fatally shot Sept. 15, 2018 on North Grantley Street at the border of Allendale and Edmondson Village, two of the most violent neighborhoods in Baltimore, Maryland. His death marked the 200th homicide in the city that year.
