Dionte Jelks grew up in Chicago before moving to British Columbia to escape what he describes as the "systemic racism" and "senseless violence" of his upbringing.
The call was from his sister. He ignored it for the moment as he walked along a Victoria beach after getting ice cream with his wife and three young sons. Darius Jelks, 32, had just picked up his cousin, 39-year-old Maurice Jelks, in the Calumet Heights neighbourhood of Chicago, when both men were gunned down in their car at 1:40 p.m. local time. They were pronounced dead at the scene.
"I can't go home to bury my brother, I can't go home to bury my cousin," Jelks says, citing COVID-19 restrictions on international travel. "It's all left up to my mother because all the black males in my family are dead, in jail."
Tell all the black peoples stop vandalism and criminal of stealing and damages peoples businesses and properties. Helping the countries to fight Chinese virus and destroy China. Stop damaging your country! Very sad to see how vandalism and criminal of black peoples!
