Black Jack, Missouri
About to start his senior year
He was a basketball player about to start his senior year of high school. He had enrolled in summer school so he could graduate early.
He was thinking about his future, planning to pursue entrepreneurship or forensic science. He had strong family bonds; he was close to his cousin Alfonzo. His sister Jomila was planning on surprising him in December with a car as a graduation gift. On July 28, 2018, he was sitting in the front seat of a car while a friend in the backseat played with a gun.
It went off. Lorenzo Moore-Vaughn, 17, was fatally shot in Black Jack, Missouri.
