18-year-old Na’Kia Crawford was gunned down just days after her high school graduation.
On June 3, Crawford celebrated her high school graduation from North High School.
The flame of her candle went out way too early,” Akron Public Schools Superintendent David James said in a statement “To make it to her high school graduation, with plans for her future, especially during this difficult time of COVID-19, just stings that much more.
We pray for Na’Kia and her entire family, her fellow students at North High School, and the teachers and staff there as well.
We ask those who need support in the wake of the death of Na’Kia Crawford to call North High School at 330.761.2665 to arrange for grief counseling.”
