Caleb Westbrooks, 15, was a freshman at Rauner College Prep and was killed in a Chicago shooting in Noble Square Tuesday.
CHICAGO -- A school community in mourning is remembering the life of a 15-year-old victim of gun violence.
"All day today at Rauner College Prep, everyone has been crying. It's been emotional. He's like our missing piece," said student Ahmani Paskel Dobine."He was literally the school joy. He never had a frown on his face, he was literally always smiling," added student Jayden Strzelczyk. "I'm out here for the safety of my child," she said."It's just insane for a mom to think today is the last day I'm gonna see my kid, it's just too much."
According to CPD data, last year in Chicago 421 juveniles were shot, up 13% from 2020. Former gang members, now violence interrupters at BUILD Chicago, said even one child is too much. Now BUILD is aiming to add more programming this year.
