Ta'Sean Hamion Gray

Age 18

Braddock, Pennsylvania

Full of energy, with great personality

He was described as “full of energy and having a great personality.” His cousin called him “young and vibrant.” 

According to Stop the Killing, Embrace Life, a community group in Pittsburgh, he was a student at Woodland Hills High School, where five students were gunned down in 2017.

Ta'Sean Hamion Gray, 18, was fatally wounded in a drive-by shooting on Sunday, Dec. 30. But his body was not found until Monday morning. “Guns, that’s not the ticket,” his cousin said. “If you got a problem with someone go to them, don’t gun them down like they’re roadkill.”
