Newsweek Features Ty-Key's Story
After Losing My Son to Gun Suicide, I Turned My Grief Into Action
Statistical Report Features Ty-Key
Remembering Ty-Key:
“In the blink of an eye, my whole life changed.” My son, Ty-Key, wrote these lyrics—searching for the words to express the loss of his best friend, Keondrick, who was shot and killed. Ty-Key survived that shooting, but five years later, at age 22, he took his own life with a gun. Ty-Key was always doing things. He was a football player, rapper, and the cool guy on the block. He was smart, too—he even had the opportunity to skip a grade. People knew him. People loved him—they always had. I miss him every day. In response to my son’s suicide, I have dedicated my life to preventing gun suicide, and providing grief counseling to help others find healing, because I want other young people to know that they can find help and there is hope.
Miami Knight, Ty-Key’s mom and gun violence prevention advocate.
