Fifteen-year-old Deshaun Jones had spent much of the summer hanging out in the neighborhood where he died last weekend, gunned down as he sat on a porch just before his first day at Frederick Douglass High School.
The teen was among seven people shot in a single incident Saturday in Franklin Square. On Monday, when he was to have begun his freshman year, red, white and blue balloons were left at the shooting scene, along with a stuffed toy animal. The other victims — all adults — are expected to survive.
Jones was an aspiring rapper who went by the name Lor D'Shaun. "His biggest dream was to make it. To move out of this 'hood," said his mother, Shanika Harris.
In one song, he says, "At a young age you turn into a man out here/Cuz these n----s on the street don't play out here."
In another track, he sounds a combative message. He waves around a gun in a video called "Bodie 'Em" and taunts his rivals. "Run up on them with that Ruger/they don't even know who did it/hit the target, hit the witness/I ain't trying see the prisons."
Harris said her son had never been violent, but he wrote about a subject that hit close to home.
"It was like re-enacting life, what he saw in the neighborhood," she said of her son's lyrics.

ho-hum...
>>Deshaun Jones<<
I am thinking he’s Jewish...
Or Amish.
“Aspiring rapper”. Is this a ‘piss-take’? (To quote my UK brethren)
apparently not. Lots of expiring rappers out thar.
‘Aspiring rapper’. LOL!
Life imitates art and sometimes it seems kills the artist.
Music and video production classes? In high school?!?!? WHF ever happened to English, Algebra, Biology, History, and so on? Hell's bells...it's no wonder stupid-a** college freshmen have to take remedial classes; they're learning bullsh*t in high school!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
ho-hum...
Yawn
Aw! He was just turning his life around!
They have those video and production classes to amuse the inmates. Keep them coming to school for the money. They care not that there are few jobs for them..or that they still can’t read, write or figure.
Yup.Bullrt probably spun him real good.
‘he spent much of the summer hanging out in the hood’
I spent most of the summer of my 15th year hanging out at the post commissary breaking down boxes and corralling/cleaning shopping carts. And mowing yards.
Deshaun sounds like just another dark complected deadhead and useless eater. And that rap s*** doesn’t even rhyme.
There it is. Another young life wasted by black culture.
Don’t jump the rest of us and you might make it to 16.
No “he was a good kid who was turning his life around...”?
It seems if you are young, male, unemployed and unemployable, getting money by activties on teh wrong side of the law... Then the PC thing for the MSM to say is that you are an “aspiring rapper.” That’s the code word for punk without prospects.
They’re ALL aspiring rappers, or basketball players.
Yet another “expiring rapper”?
Apostrophe, Man! Don’t forget the Apostrophe! It’s “D’Shaun.”
I find it odd that one seldom reads an article such as this in which the involved “youth” bears the same surname as his mother.
this surely should be a clue to MOST readers as to the CAUSE of all this out of control behavior
