Davon McNeal, an 11-year-old boy in Washington, DC, was getting out of a car to grab phone charger from his aunt's house. As he stepped out, he was caught in the middle of a shooting among a group of men and was killed.

His grandfather, John Ayala, told CNN the support of the surrounding community is helping Davon's family deal with the young boy's death."We're getting through it," Ayala, a local activist, said Tuesday."And one of the reasons we're getting through it is because members of our community is fed up.

That is tragic. So sorry for his loss.

Congrats cnn you usually don’t report these types of stories.

“Among a group of men” or in media terms, “shot by a group of black men”, but they leave that part...now imagine this headline had a group of white men had shot him

Yup! Its time to control your people!! The only way your going to stop the killing is for the black people who live in the kill zones to follow the See Something. Say Something. request by the Police!

No shit Dick Tracey just where did you get your clue? Where the hell have you been?

Sadly, the violence isn't going to stop for 2 main reasons (I am sure there are more than 2): 1) Systemic racism 2) Our country's love of guns

Do all black lives matter or just those killed by a white cop?

They need to put down BLACK LIVES MATTER and a lot of the violence will stop

Oh no!

😢

My deepest sympathies to his family.

This is the violence that CNN has been fomenting. You shouldn’t be allowed to sell advertising off of the backs of these good people. With your “mostly peaceful” protest coverage you incited this violence. You are not protected under the first amendment. Your actions cause death

The media+Democrat Party is trying to divide and thereby weaken the American people. The American people will not give up our Freedom and Liberty and let Marxists burn our cities to the ground for communism under the banner of socialism. MAGA Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

“Caught up in a shooting” - no he was murdered by scumbags who didn’t give a damn for his life. There won’t be protests or riots for this child’s death. We won’t see politicians tweet demanding justice for this child.

This is so tragic. Another young life taken. My heart goes out to these parents that have lost a part of their soul to this unnecessary violence. I lost my oldest son, this loss is incomprehensible, even more so to violence. We need to learn from this..protect our young 😔💔

Since you refuse to cover these things You have a responsibility to the American people to cover these things You are not doing it Every damn night in portland

YOU’RE LYING. HOW ABOUT YOU SHOW WHATS REALLY GOING ON IN PORTLAND? tedwheeler JudicialWatch OANN ChanelRion seanhannity JesseBWatters TuckerCarlson DHS_Wolf HomelandKen WhiteHouse JackPosobiec GenFlynn

Thanks for finally giving optics to the plethora of stories like this. Now, try being as fair in coverage as you used to be and stop being just another rage bait news stand pulp paper trying to properly learn digital format and failing.

Wow

DO NOT PROTEST ANY MORE

❤️🙏🏻

Tom Hanks turned off his comments. Chrissy Teigen deleted 60k tweets. HRC deleted 30,000+ emails. 'But they're all innocent and have nothing to hide' BS pizzagate Pedowood

Black Lives Matter. Tragedies like this happen far too often. 🙏❤️🙏 God, bless this righteous man and his family in their time of grief, and comfort them with the faith that their beloved child rests in immortal peace in the loving arms and eternal Grace of Christ. 🙏 Amen 🙏

Another example of the need for policing and gun reform. The second Amendment gave us a right to carry guns when America was a vast wilderness. It didn’t give us the right to commit genocide.

Stop BLM and its racist behaviour pleasr

‘Be the change you wish to see.’

Wow...So very sorry for your loss.😥

Maybe spend more time supporting men like this, instead of legitimizing abjectly insane ideas like these:

🎷

Among a group of black men

Please don’t forget about the Russian bounties story. Thank you.

Don't allow the hatred of others to become yours.

Black Lives Matter because ALL Lives Matter. WE must have Mutual 'RESPECT' for one another in order to move forward. Let it not just be words. Everyone forever change ourselves, too. Find those words you can live your life by-- move forward!

Where's BLM in that neighborhood?

We have Peace and Development groing well in our country BURUNDI. Things are best salutations with respects

Or a snitch🤔

So sorry to hear about your great loss . There can be nothing worse than the death of a child. I'm sitting here in Ireland seeing my Grandchildren and I could never imagine something like what you are going trough. I'm sending you my deepest condolences across the miles.

I’m assuming the shooters are not white, or it would in the headline.

Sounds like a contradiction🤔

The Above Ground Pool Is The Gift That Keeps On Costing Me MoneyI am too far in to quit, though. This cracked me up! Been there done that in the early days! I had some issues at first, too. Some things that helped me: 1. Upgrade pump to one that will handle twice the amount of water. 2. Spray out filter every few days. 3. (The tough one) Don't get muddy and jump in! Ugh!!! I was ok with everything I spent on the pool. Then a week ago a crappy neighbor filed a complaint. Evidently pools deeper than 18” need a permit. $350 pool + $333 permit. Contender for fav neighbor award? 😝
