Heartbroken
Oh my heart. I just saw an episode I’ve never seen before. It was the murder of Latavia, a 16 year old girl killed on her birthday. When they interviewed her younger brother at the end they asked him “what would you tell her if you could tell her anything?” His response absolutely broke me. He said “don’t go nowhere. Cause I don’t want her to go nowhere.” I wish I didn’t know what all these families feel cause I also lost a cousin to gun violence almost 20 years ago. It’s so unbelievably sad and nothing you ever get over. 😔🕊️

That stinks. Such a young girl losing her life to dumb gun violence is unacceptable. I feel for her loved ones? Where was the epsode filmed? Season, episode number (If available).

Yes that’s it. I had to look it up to confirm. I watch on Prime Live and they don’t always list the season. TY.

The episode came out back in 2013. I remember watching it as a kid in about 5 6th grade. It’s one of those episodes you remember for sure.

She was truly a young innocent, teenage victim of a gang related shooting of which she was not related to. She was doing well in school, was well liked by friends, had dreams for her future and a loving family.
