Warren Lee Christopher Wimberly
Age 14
Moss Bluff, Louisiana
He is ”up in heaven dancing”
He backflipped his way through life. Every place he went — parks, friends’ backyards, the local Lake Charles, Louisiana, mall — was cemented by the soles of his feet, his lopsided smile and his belly-aching laugh.
“He wasn’t just any wild kid, he was original,” his friend Holli would later say.
Warren Lee Christopher Wimberly, 14, was accidentally shot in the chest by a friend on May 26, 2018, while playing with a gun he had thought was unloaded. Even in the wake of his death, his mother said she knows he is “up in heaven dancing, joking, maybe even giving the angels a run for their money.”
