NeQuacia Porsha Jacobs-Lewis
Age 18
Dallas, Texas
High school graduation, diploma, career — gone
The chairs were filled with rows of students. She was the honor student, but her mom stood in her place, receiving her hard-earned high school diploma.
She planned to attend the University of Texas at Austin and help cancer patients; she would’ve been the first in her family to graduate from college. She wanted to ease her family’s financial struggles. She spoiled her three sisters but also set an example for them.
On Feb. 24, 2018, NeQuacia Porsha Jacobs-Lewis, 18, was shot in the chest and killed while looking out of her apartment window in Dallas, Texas. Her sister Trameicia was shot but survived.
