IT HAS BEEN just over two weeks since Shemar Weekes died under tragic circumstances, but he has not been forgotten.

His three buddies, Keshawn Griffith, Azikiwe Pierre and Rashad Husbands, with whom he engaged in the usual after school games on the same evening of his death, led the short procession through the neighbourhood bearing a placard with the 12-year-old’s smiling face.
