In September 2011 a jury found Charles Gerron guilty of pulling out a gun at a party, firing it into a crowd of teenagers and killing Ne'Keisha Hodges-Hawkins. On top of this tragedy, for more than 5 years, no one was arrested for Ne'keisha's death, despite 150 teenagers witnessing the incident.

This is the tale of a father who refused to let his daughter be denied justice. On this episode you will experience her father, Kalvon Hawkins sadness, anger and confusion as to how these events happened. The void in his heart, crooked officers, depression and other obstacles he faced couldn't deter Kalvon from seeing this coward face judgement.

Kalvon is still honoring his daughters name till this day, from driving over 1900 miles to have this very conversation that you are about to hear, to establishing a non-profit and clothing company in his daughters name.

A life was lost in an instant leaving behind the hopes, dreams and future plans of a child gone to soon and this is her story. Rest in Heaven baby girl!
