Yet another innocent bystander caught a fatal bullet fired by feuding shooters, aiming recklessly on a warm spring night. And now, New York City mourns the loss of Darius Lee, a son, student and star college basketball player at Houston Baptist University.
The 21-year-old was killed in a Sunday-to-Monday overnight shooting that wounded eight others at a gathering on East 139th Street and 5th Avenue.
“I had a little boy come up to me yesterday and tapped my shoulder, he was standing over the picture [of Darius] we have up in front of the building,” said Taren Weaver, Lee’s mother. “And he pointed to the picture and he was like ‘do you miss him? Because I miss him.’ It broke my heart to hear him say that.”
“I would always tease him about school, like ‘you can’t just answer questions with just a one-word answer: to give a full sentence,’ and he always laughed,” said Weaver, laughing herself. “It was so hard for him to do essays because he’s a person of few words. I said you have to do an essay, not a paragraph.”motivated teen with big ambitions.someone everybody would root for.
On Monday evening, Street Corner Resources held a rapid response gathering where the shooting happened to stand against gun violence and pray for Lee, who was deeply rooted in his faith. The nonprofit also created a banner for local youth to write messages to Lee. Before it was fully hung up, every space was filled with well-wishes and condolences.
