| Michael Brown's funeral News One |
It's been a year since 18-year-old Michael Brown was fatally shot by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri. Marches have already taken place and more are planned. For sure, many who participate will visit Michael's grave. It's number 4 in section 10, block F, lot 12. The headstone is due to arrive soon, but for now, it's marked by a square of cement on which are spray-painted the initials MB.
BBC News reporter
Jessica Lussenhop is one who already visited. "Within a roughly 30-metre radius of Michael's grave there are at least
15 homicide victims," she reports. "The youngest was a 15-year-old. Most of them were
shot. There are also deaths by suicide, cancer, car accidents, but for
those under the age of 30, the predominant cause of death is homicide." Jarris Brown (no relation), Oshay Safari Caves, Keairrah Renee Johnson, and so many more ... who are these individuals about whom we know nothing? (story, videos):
