Gun violence hits a little closer to home….

Isaiah memorial

This guy worked at the Wawa right by where I work

I can remember him as a somewhat reserved quiet guy

having to wear Bandaids to cover the tattoo of his name in

a calligraphic script - probably a Wawa Corporate measure…

I came back from vacation to find this memorial to him

on the front counter, which is fitting, at least for me, as that

is where I best remember him.

I had to pull out the Razr and snap a picture of it -

one of the women who works there sort of gave me this

knowing look as if to say “I know why you have to do this”

From the Philadelphia Tribune:

The bloodshed continued into Saturday, where at 1:51 a.m.
police were called to the 2100 block of South Saggett Street.
Police found the victim, 19-year-old Isaiah Sizer, of the 5800 block of Pentridge Street,
inside a parked car with a gunshot wound to the chest.

A second victim, an 18-year-old male,
was found at the same location with a gunshot wound in the leg.

Both victims were transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
Sizer was pronounced dead at 2:36 a.m.

Rest in Peace.

Godspeed.
