Mr Wellington: Nearby Apartment

Mr Evans Dept: As if that weren’t bad enough, on Saturday morning a 25-year-old man was stabbed to death in the lobby of his nearby apartment building – news that almost mocked the neighbourhood’s efforts at revitalization and it had been easy to forget about Omar Wellington, and how, four years ago, the 17-year-old was tortured, stabbed and paraded around the same grounds where children chase soccer balls today. But when Dianthony Evans, 19, was shot in the head on July 13 just blocks from where Mr. Wellington died, Flemingdon’s history of violence couldn’t be glossed over. In a macabre twist, Mr. Evans was one of the youths convicted in Mr. Wellington’s murder. “ When Dianthony was shot I considered moving back home. And I’m from the Third World. ” — Souria Chaabo, resident As reported in the news.
