Kenny Dae’Quwan Antwain Ivory

Age 17

Chicago, Illinois

She lost her sweet “baby boy”

Lightly tinted at the tips, his dreadlocks fell to his shoulders.

He went to Excel Academy of South Shore, where his teachers spoke highly of him. He would hang out with his best friend every day. They were like brothers.

Kenny Dae’Quwan Antwain Ivory was fatally shot in the abdomen in Chicago, Illinois while riding his bike, on Aug. 5, 2018, days before his 18th birthday. He was the second student Excel lost to gun violence over the summer.
