On November 29, a shooting at a birthday party in Stockton, California, left four young people dead and 11 others injured.
The victims, ages 8, 9, 14, and 21, were killed after gunfire was directed into a banquet hall of more than 100 people.
Police believe that gunfire continued outside the venue after the initial shooting and that multiple perpetrators may be involved.
As of December 1, authorities are still searching for suspects. Police are urging the public to come forward if they have any information.
Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy (real name Damini Ogulu) has stepped forward to support the grieving families.
After hearing about the incident, he was moved by the story of Amari, one of the young victims. Amari was a student athlete with a 3.8 GPA.
The Afrobeat star said in a statement that:
“When I heard about the children murdered in Stockton, my heart broke,” he said, per a report from Parade.
“After hearing the story on [the radio show] The Breakfast Club, I reached out to [record executive] Wack 100 and connected with [Stockton vice mayor] Jason Lee because no family should ever face this kind of pain alone. I wanted to do whatever I could to support these parents as they begin the long process of healing.”
