It is the end of summer in St. Louis, Missouri. Saturday August 9, 2014 to be exact. It was a normal hot summer weekend, unfortunately it appeared to be normal until that heated afternoon. My family and I were leaving Walmart after buying groceries for our home, then suddenly we heard police sirens from afar.

The thought of knowing he would have started college the following day. Another young soul taken from this world too
