Sunday night was not a good night for the Jefferson family. Somehow, his younger cousin got a hold of an illegal handgun and shot him in his stomache. He died at the age of 8.

It hurts my heart to hear that because I witnessed how good of a kid Laquarrie was. My little sister attended school with him and played with him after school. I was playing basketball with him one day. He did not have a good shot because of his size so i lifted him up so he could shoot the ball.

The little kid was only 8 and had his whole life ahead of him. I couldve see him as someone very successful in life and who gave back to his community... I just cannot believe that he is gone.
