Travell Charles LeFlore

Age 18

Saint Louis, Missouri

His smile lit up the world

He was described as having a smile that “could light up the world.” He was a brother, the youngest of six, a cousin and a friend to many.

He was often on Snapchat; he had a goofy personality and a family he loved. His sisters were proud of him and believed in him. He looked up to them as well.

Travell Charles LeFlore, 18, was shot at 10:45 p.m. in the 1100 block of June Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 30, 2018. A witness reported hearing approximately eight gunshots. He was found dead at the scene.
