Artemis Rayford was 12-years-old when he wrote a letter last year to Tennessee Governor Bill Lee, expressing concern about a new state law that allows most adults to legally carry a gun without a permit.
“I am a sixth-grader at Sherwood Middle School, and it is my opinion that this new law will be bad, and people will be murdered,” Artemis wrote the governor.
His prediction came true. Artemis was murdered on Christmas morning when Memphis police say a stray bullet took his life.
Joyce Newson says her grandson, who she called “Shun,” was inside his home, playing with his Christmas presents, when bullets shattered the peace. He was a bright kid with a bright future.
