The sight of the urn holding Dante McFallo’s ashes pulled the teens away from their phones.
Dante’s mother cradled the purple vessel as she crossed the cafeteria at Rosemary Anderson High School’s Rockwood campus and gently placed it on a table at the front of the room. Purple was Dante’s favorite color.
Seven months earlier, on New Year’s Day, a gunman ran up to Dante in the parking lot of a Gresham apartment complex and fired nine times, leaving the 18-year-old dying on the pavement.
This was the first time Jozi McFallo, 51, had visited the high school since her son’s killing.
