## Resource

Eighteen years old, just minutes from his birthday, Malcolm Jefferson—known as LJ—was gunned down on Forbes Avenue in Charleston, South Carolina. Found with multiple gunshot wounds at a notorious gambling spot called “Vegas,” no eyewitnesses have come forward to identify the shooter. His mother, Monica, still can’t wish him happy birthday, and despite over two dozen interviews and even naming a person of interest this year, justice remains out of reach. The family’s pain fuels their fight: they’ve launched the Malcolm C. Jefferson Foundation to combat gun violence, reaching out to youth at the heart of the crisis. Police are still seeking tips—call 843-743-7200—and LJ’s legacy lives on through their unyielding demand for answers.
