Sean Knockum Jr.
Age 18
New Orleans, Louisiana
No more morning wakeups for mom
Waking up at 5 a.m. was worth it for him. It gave him time to “primp” and make sure his mom woke up in time for work.
He was studying to be a paramedic at Delgado Community College. While a student at Christ First Christian Academy, he taught himself to play the trumpet. His father described him as “cheerful” and said he had “a huge impact on a lot of people.”
On April 11, 2018, 18-year-old Sean Knockum Jr. was pronounced dead after being shot multiple times in New Orleans. "I want to know if my son called out to me,” his father asked.
