Mikhail Jawan Ellis
Age 18
Temple, Texas
He just wanted to fix cars
The Fred W. Edwards Academy student had a passion for working with cars. He dreamed of becoming a mechanic.
Surrounded by five siblings and a caring mother, he was loved. One sister, Keosha White, said he had an “uplifting spirit” and a great sense of humor. His mother, Pamela White, has become a de facto gun control advocate, urging others to "put the guns down and pick up some balls and bats instead.”
Mikhail Jawan Ellis, 18, was accidentally shot and killed on June 24, 2018, in Temple, Texas, a few weeks before his 19th birthday.
