Ke’Andre Johnson
Age 17
Pine Bluff, Arkansas
Cut off after only one verse
He dreamed of a rap career. In 2018, he released his first song with fellow Pine Bluff, Arkansas, rapper Tei Tei.
But his family knew that beneath the musical persona, “Lil Dre” had a softer side. “We were more than cousins, we were best friends,” said Omaria Harris in a Facebook post. “Some people got years of their life taken from them, and I just wanna see all of mine,” Lil Dre wrote in 2017.
On June 21, 2018, Pine Bluff Police discovered a red Honda at the corner of 25th and Orange Streets where Ke’Andre Kyrek Johnson, 17, lay dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
