SEVENTEEN

don't
die
before
you've
lived

Marvin Henry, 17, has become the seventeenth teenager to be murdered in London this year.

He was shot in Mill Hill, north London, earlier today. It's less than a week since 16-year-old Samuel Adelagun was shot in Newham, east London.

Note: Don't Die Before You've Lived is a series of ongoing entries recording the murders of teenagers in London. Although not necessarily GBLT-related, the desperately premature loss of these young boys deserves our full attention. Take a minute, read the names, look at their faces, and spare a thought for these kids who really did die before they lived. ka-os|theory is a London-based blog.
