Another teenager, Darryl Head, 17, was shot and killed last week in the notorious Victory Park area in Louisville’s West End. According to the Courier-Journal, nearly one-third of Louisville’s forty-six homicides this year have been under age 21. What makes Head’s murder even more heartbreaking was that he was trying to avoid the traps of “the streets.” It has been reported that the Doss High School student belonged to Dr. Eddie Woods’ intervention program called Operation Hope and according to WAVE 3 news, was one of 29 boys in the Parkland Boys and Girl’s Club’s Passport to Manhood program.
