Ty'Quarrius Hardimon

Age 16

Winona, Mississippi

His grandma ”just can’t stop crying”

He is a ghost. What we know about him comes from his last day and his Facebook page. His friends called him “fun, goofy, laidback (and) sweet.” He was nicknamed Pony.

He had a love for murals; many people called him a friend. “[Y]ou have been so heavy on my mind baby … miss you man, I just can’t stop crying,” his grandmother would later write.

His name is Ty’Quarrius Hardimon and he was 16 years old. He was shot on July 5, 2018, and found on Silver Street in Winona, Mississippi. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
