In yet another innocent bystander shooting, 14-year old K-Ron Surratt was shot and killed near his home in Emporia, Virginia. K-Ron was getting ready to enter the 9th grade.
His mother said, “K-Ron was ‘a very outspoken person, he was fun to be around, he loved to listen to music, he loved to dance,’ as well as a protector of her and his two younger siblings.”
A local police captain added, “[i]t hurts because he had a whole life ahead of him and it was unnecessary, no reason. These people don’t realize that when you pull that trigger, you can’t stop it.”
There is an ongoing investigation.
