“We are coming because we still have life. We are trying to bring those who are still living to bring awareness and say, ‘Hey, we can live together in peace and harmony, without losing our life and killing one another,’” LeCount said. LeCount makes it his mission to prevent other parents from experiencing his pain. He is doing so by hosting his second bike ride on Moncrief Road to end violence in the community.“When I am over here, I just thank God for the little time that I was able to share with my son for 21 years,” LeCount said. “This is a way of me being able to make peace with what happened to my son, but it is also a way for me to be able to help somebody not to go through what I had to deal with as a father.
Anderson’s friend survived, but Anderson died at a hospital. She was just 25 years old and left behind a 1-year-old daughter. No one has been arrested in the case.
