I am a friend of Devonta's mother. She is fully aware of this request and is in agreement with its content. All funds will go to her and his siblings after the funeral cost.

A letter to your heart.

Devonta was a beautiful person inside and out. He believed in living life to the fullest. He shared the words of love. Believing love can overcome all. Love over Violence was his message.

Devonta parents are currently waiting on the release of his body to complete his transition and would appreciate any help. Devonta was a member of the Ebenezer Church of God and Christ.

He was an innocent bystander and this has hit his family hard. We are calling on all Believers to keep this family lifted in sincere prayer.
