Eleven-year-old Davon McNeal was one of several children gunned down by gun violence over the Fourth of July weekend. His dream was to play for the NFL and buy his mother"the biggest house."When his phone died, 11-year-old Davon McNeal was at a Stop the Violence cookout in Washington, D.C., that his mother had helped organize. She took him to his aunt's house close by to borrow a charger and John Ayala, his grandfather, says the little boy hopped out of the car.
Wanda Ayala, Davon's grandmother, who is called"mama" by all her grandchildren, says she'll never forget the phone call she received a little after 10 p.m. with the news. Everything else is a blur. Racing to the hospital. Having an anxiety attack. Praying Davon would be OK."I said, 'Davon, baby, wake up, baby, mama's here.' He's lying on the table. This can't be right. Who does this to a kid?" she said, while sobbing uncontrollably.
"From that point on, his goal was to go to the NFL. That's all he talked about," she said."[He would say] 'And when I make it, I'm buying my mother the biggest house I can find.'" John and Wanda Ayala are devastated by their grandson's death."This is ridiculous," John Ayala says."Our babies are being gunned down, this has got to stop."John and Wanda Ayala are devastated by their grandson's death."This is ridiculous," John Ayala says."Our babies are being gunned down, this has got to stop.""It's the difference between being a mom and a grandma," she said.
BLM is increasing silent. You’ll protest police but not denounce the gun violence in record numbers in the city. Interesting. Agenda much?
It's not called Gun Violence it's called human Violence. People also kill people with a car for Chirst shake but do you call it Car Violencen when somebody gets run over No you don't because it does not fit your liberal narrative .
Result of Democrat-run cities

This country is suffering more than one pandemic 😢😢😢
White people didn't kill any of these children.
Thanks for highlighting these stories. We need ideas and actions to address the underlying causes of crime in all affected communities.
And yet at the very hour, the biggest going concern for people between the age of 13 and 20 is that Tictok could be banned due to 'national security risks'. priorities

A bit late on this one, no?
And BlackLivesMatter is missing from all this, of course. They’re too busy painting BLM murals in front of Trump Tower.🙄
The NRA doesn’t give a shit.
Answer: blacks
Sorry, those of us outside the Gated Institutional Narrative machine are not gaslightable.
Scourge of drugs and gang violence in black communities is way more serious than any other issue. It's not racist to speak out against gangs - they kill million times more black people than the police. Get your priorities right!
Seems like somebody stole the password for the NPR twitter account.
All Black Lives Matter. I applaud the groups that will march for these children.
People, we are losing the FUTURE when children are being murdered by preventable violence, health, climate and economic crises. 💜
How many of those shooters were white do you think?
But why don't I see Blklivesmatter MoveOn UniteThePoor rolandsmartin shaunking BernieSanders TheRevAl MichelleObama BarackObama icecube sunny theview JoeBiden others outraged and trying to find a solution to this!?! I just see DefundThePolice Do BlackLivesMatter?
No Al Sharpton
Yep, only some black lives matter (those don’t count).
Thank you for covering this extremely important issue that has been plaguing poor black communities for decades.
By blm protests and black on black gang crime...
NPR, now answer: does this little black life matter?
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Reporting on the murder of black children killed by black men distracts from the BlackLivesMatter movement. Quit feeding the conservative talking points npr.
Died by murderers. Fixed it for you.
defundThePolice or prisonerRelease ? Which is it?
ANy leads? otherwise these cops suck DefundThePolice
“But defund the police too”
