Keimonte Raclaud White
Age 17
Fridley, Minnesota
Just waiting to drop his music
People who knew him knew he’d make them smile. “If (he) was around, it was gonna be a cool time,” said his friend Malasia Taylor, describing him in a text.
He belonged to Minneapolis’s Man Up Club, which teaches young black men how to resolve conflicts. But music was his baby. “He had real talent,” Taylor texted. “He was waiting to drop his music.”
Keimonte Raclaud White, 17, was in a van with two friends on Jan. 10, 2019, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They stopped to give someone a ride; the passenger shot Keimonte multiple times. He died at Hennepin County Medical Center.
