As Philadelphia Police continue to investigate the shooting that took the life of a 19-year-old man and injured eight others between the ages of 14 and 24-years-old on the Fourth of July, the family of the Maurice Quann say they are planning his funeral instead of celebrating his graduation.Quann was supposed to graduate from Bartram High School this month, they say. They received his diploma from the School District of Philadelphia Monday. They are no strangers to tragedy.
"I hear the shots, I hear two, I hear a pause, then I hear more, once I heard that last shot I took off running. I got down, I proceeded to scream in his ear for him to get up, please get up, there was no response," said Sills. "They wound up getting him out of my arms to help him, I just went into shock."Quann was involved in several anti-violence groups, including NOMO Foundation.
