Richard Turner

On March 19th our sister Debra lost her son Richard Turner. He was shot in Newark, Calif., and rushed to Eden Hospital in Castro Valley and it’s where he did not survive his gunshot injuries. The case is actively under investigation. Our sister has now lost both of her sons to gun violence. Most of you know in 2007 Aaron Anthony Breaux was also killed due to gun violence and that case still remains unsolved. This sudden loss as any parent can imagine has left our sister feeling beyond empty, broken and grief stricken. No parent should have to feel the pain of losing a child let alone both of her only boys. Richard and Anthony were our sister’s whole world and truly the apple of her eye. Both her boys were so creative, funny, thoughtful and carried a smile that spanned a mile wide. Richard was an artist and mastered a craft and love for tattooing. And no matter how old Richard was he still called our sister his “mama”
