[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think this was shared already. I hadn’t realized that he had been watching the track meet. How tragic for his family.

“Kian-Wayne Magruder, 31, of Temple Hills, Maryland, went to the D.C. Interscholastic Athletic Association’s elementary school track and field championships on May 20 to cheer on his girlfriend’s son — and was fatally shot just steps from where hundreds of children were sitting in bleachers.
Magruder was walking near the city’s former Spingarn High School, where the competition was being held, when three men jumped out of a car just before 2 p.m. and at least one of them opened fire, Smith said at a news conference. The attackers fled, and the vehicle they used was later found in flames in the Fort Lincoln neighborhood. There have been no arrests in the shooting. Magruder’s mother, LaKia Magruder, remembered her son as “an involved father of two beautiful children” and a true “family man” who lived a simple life. “My son worked, worked out and spent time with his family,” she said. “He always had a smile for you and a positive word.” He was an electrician apprentice, she said, but his true passion was physical fitness. She said he was building a career as a personal trainer. “Kian-Wayne was my only child,” his mother said. “He will definitely be missed by his family near and far. We must stop the senseless killings that continue to devastate our Black communities. Every life lost is a wound to our families, our neighborhoods and our future. The pain is real, the grief is deep and the cycle of violence must end.”
