The 18-year-old shot two weeks before graduation

Baltimore – Demetrius Phyall or Meechie was in front of his life just two weeks before graduating from high school when he was shot.

“I think what if?”

This is the question that the delegate Sean A. Stinnett has, who asked for the 18-year-old Demetrius Phyall or Menchies, who killed life.

Stinnett has known Demetrius since he was 3 years old.

“He is like one of my own little children, you know, I'm the big uncle,” said Stinnett. “I saw how he grew up since he, his brother, and my youngest daughter at Kiddie College at the Baltimore City Community College.”

He told WMAR 2 News that he had matured into a young man with destinations and ambitions.

“He was a child who tried to find his way in life. He stood up again that he was close to God and established his belief in Islam.”

But these goals were tragically shortened on Monday.

According to the Baltimore City police, the officials reacted to the East Preston Street around 5.40 p.m. to examine several Scottish warnings.

Demetrius was shot several times.

He later died in the hospital.

Stinnett learned from his death at a meeting.

“[I felt] On the ground, angry, injured – not only that a small child lost his life, but they are also concerned about his parents because I know how much his parents really loved him. “

Stinnett hit the way he died even harder when you consider that Demetrius was part of the Baltimore Clean Street program.

One of his main focus is on the mediation of members of the youth in order to prevent arguments from leading to crimes.

“Overall, I think we only have to find ways to do a little more to make sure that we reach those people who build this kind of beef.”

He said Demetrius was so close to founding a new chapter in his life.

“He was away from the high school for two weeks from high school, and then he wanted to get his CDL license, and I wanted to give him that,” he said. “We won't see progress. We will not be able to marry him and have children and smile more to other people.”

At this point there is no suspicious information.

Demetrius' funeral takes place on Saturday.
