Samuel Ozuna
Age 17
Manhattan, New York
Always respectful, loved by his friends
Even as a little kid he had a “super-deep voice,” said Ray Been, whose daughter went to school with him at Learning Action Center for Academic Success and Achievement. He was “always respectful,” Been said.
His friends loved him. His girlfriend said she was his best friend. In an old Facebook post, she wrote “together forever, never apart. Maybe by distance, but never by heart.”
Samuel Ozuna, 17, was shot multiple times on April 24, 2018, at 8:38 p.m in the East Harlem neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. There’s a Facebook page dedicated to his memory.
