Xavier Lofton of Bellwood had taken a turn as an actor in an African American-themed web series and short films that have thousands of online subscribers.
Herman Lofton and Tameika Labon hold a picture of their son, Xavier Lofton, on Dec. 5, 2022, along with an acting award he recently won. Xavier Lofton, an aspiring actor, was killed in a Friday shooting on the West Side.
Though untrained, those who worked with him said he had an innate showmanship and enthusiasm with the ability to switch between comedy and drama. “He had natural talent,” said Reginald Irving, a West Side filmmaker who wrote and produced the web series with his company, ND Flix. Lofton’s death came amid a chaotic scene late Friday following the shooting, which may have been connected to a nearby traffic crash that left a 50-year-old man dead.
Williams’ death was due to multiple injuries of the collision, according to autopsy results, and his death was classified as a traffic accident and not a homicide, police said.
