A 14-year-old rapper was tragically murdered on a bus in London, sparking an outpouring of tributes and concern from the community.
The boy, who went by the name Grippa, was attacked on a route 472 bus. It was just before 2:30 PM when the police described the incident as a “horrendous” crime. Can you believe that?
People have been posting tributes online, sharing pictures of doves under his rap video. In the video, he’s performing in an underground car park, looking so full of life.
Just two weeks before this tragedy, he had laid flowers for another young victim of violence. That boy, Daejaun Campbell, was also just 15 when he was killed nearby.
It’s a tough time in Woolwich. There was even another stabbing just the day before, but thankfully, that one wasn’t fatal.
Last year, ten teenagers lost their lives to violence in London, mostly from stabbings. It’s a grim statistic, and it’s hard to wrap your head around.
The police are on it, trying to find out who did this. They’re saying it’s a worrying time for everyone, especially with such a young victim. My heart goes out to his family and friends.
