faces third-degree murder and other charges for shooting Jones but still hasn’t been tried.
The display is the brainchild of Zarinah Lomax, who has experienced more than her share of trauma during her 38 years. A rape survivor whose father is serving a life sentence for murder, she became an activist following the 2018 homicide of Dominique Oglesby, a senior at Penn State who was killed during an altercation outside of a West Philly establishment after she had stopped for takeout after church before going to study.
“I created this because I’m a co-victim. I had to figure out what to do with my grief,” she said Wednesday. “I didn’t know what to do with my grief when Dominique was murdered. I’m not her mother. I’m not her sister. Blood-related, I am not. But I was grieving, and I didn’t know if it made sense. I didn’t know if I had the right to grieve. And I didn’t even know where I was supposed to grieve because you had Moms Bonded By Grief and Mothers in Charge.
Along the way, Lomax used a talk show she once hosted on Philly Cam, a local access channel, to showcase the stories of homicide victims. She also created “Apologues,” an art exhibit sharing the stories of survivors of those lost to gun violence that made its 2018 debut atFor that project, Lomax commissioned 30 local artists to create artwork honoring co-victims of gun violence.
