This summer alone there have been 3 or 4 shootings on this block that I know of. I am heartbroken by this news and also worried about all of our kids' mental health and sense of safety as we move forward.

thanks for sharing these pictures, I love seeing them. Sad, but still very glad to see him smiling... thinking of his family, classmates and friends

It is so unfair that our kids, and in particular boys of color, are walking targets across this city and nation.  My heart grieves for his family.  Every child in communities of color is a ray of hope for our families.  As a mom, I cannot imagine the pain and disappointment.

His little brother is also shy and extremely sensitive. He will need extra love and understanding right now.

The family is very tight. They live together and fight for each other. I just hope they can all stay safe.

Sebastian was a good older sibling, cousin, and friend. He was quiet, and kept to himself but came back to visit Moos and would say hello to the teachers, talk with them. always a kind, kind person.

I'm thinking of his little brother right now, who is also the sweetest of students, and his cousins and family and teachers.

This is so heartbreaking. I worry tremendously about his younger sibling and cousins. We need to wrap our arms around them.

Leong, he loved that cooking unit we did, got really into it. Got into a couple books in my class too, became book buddies with Edward, tried to encourage Cristino in debate. He was also kind and respectful. All he wanted was to provide for his family and move away from his neighborhood. Half of me thinks I should've pushed him harder, the other half knows there's not much I could have done to change his family or his circumstances.

I remember seeing Sebastian and his family around Moos. It's heartbreaking reading his essay because he shows such a huge desire to help others and give back to those that supported him.

I'm so sorry for this loss, Moos community. Sebastian clearly cared deeply for his family, his community, and his future. So many young people are faced with impossible choices...just heartbreaking.

He was such a kind and sweet student. He grew so much while in class, I was so proud of him. He had such a big heart.

I remember Sebastian as always being quiet and respectful in school. He always worked hard in his small groups and tried his best. I would see him around the neighborhood often the last few years and he always had a smile and a hello, no matter who else he was walking with. He will be missed.

Sebastian was such a sweet kid. To watch his growth from even just 6th grade to 8th was amazing.  I'm heartbroken for his family.

This is so sad.  My heart goes out to all of you who taught him and loved him. This is tragic and like you said, it puts everything in perspective. This is beyond words and I am so sorry.

I remember Sebastian as a quiet kid - but he knew what was going on. His love for his family was always evident. He took care of younger siblings and cousins like it was his job.

On reflecting about this, I think we have done a good job of creating the expectations for students to go on in their education. Maybe now we need to focus on making sure that students leave here knowing what they are good at or what skills they have that will help give them a direction in life. I know sports were important to Sebastian, as they are to many of us, but having an expectation of being a famous basketball player is what many of our young men think is possible. We need to emphasize all the academic things they do well so they can create an adulthood free of the senseless violence they have to currently live with

This kid always made me feel like I was letting him down.  I felt like I expected more from him as a student, and it wasnt that he was lazy, he just seem disconnected.  And now I feel like I was right and we all missed our chance to intervene and change his fate

He was always respectful and didn't take things for granted. I have so many memories of him yelling at his peers to listen and do good because he was a leader. I'll miss him.

He took care of his little brother and loved him dearly...

He was a kind, shy kid with me and picked up his siblings and cousins without complaint. They looked up to him and talked about him like he walked on water because he didn't treat them like annoyances. Not all teenagers are like that.

"School is how you stop being poor."  So many of our kids are motivated by the idea of getting out of their circumstances.  I remember the feeling of ambition, but not the feeling of what you're trapped in it.  Even our most motivated students are currently TRAPPED in whatever their circumstances, even just trapped at home.  How can we make them feel like there's a better future?

Sebastian looks like a tough guy here, but he was always smiling! It wasn't hard to get him to crack a smile.
