[ [link removed] ]30 Under 3030 Under 30



John,

You don’t have to be the target to be the victim.

Andrea Nicole Camps, Melissa Gonzalez, De’Michael Dukes, Lindsay
Key-Parker, and King Carter. They remind us that stray gunfire can reach
anyone, anywhere. But their stories are so much more than a bullet. [ [link removed] ]You
can read their stories in the 30 under 30 magazine and learn more about
the lives that were stolen in the blink of an eye.

Each of these kids were bright stars of their communities, they lived
joyfully everyday and created happiness rather than wait for it. With
great plans for themselves and their families, with bright paths in their
eyes. 

Melissa and Andrea’s boyfriends, King’s parents, and Lindsay and
De’Micheal’s baby daughter were all waiting for them back home. Gunfire
that was not meant for them ended their lives, while doing everyday
activities. They were not the aim of the gunshot, yet it stopped their
futures. 

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in the US. It has
taken the future of 4,300 kids annually, no matter if they were the target
or not. Leaving families, friends, and communities to mourn not only their
lives but what could have been. As of September 25, 2024, stray bullets
have caused 34 deaths and 62 injuries in the United States.

Andrea, Melissa, De’Michael, Lindsay, and King did not just have dreams,
they had goals. They had set up a plan for their future that was supposed
to be bright and beautiful. Every step they took was building towards
that, full of great possibilities. They were living everyday wonders that
should have led to so many tomorrows.
