Copy shortlink: When Atinuke Ladipo got the call last month that her son had been seriously injured in a fight, the news didn t sink in at first. Even after she and her husband got to North Memorial Health Hospital and saw Awwal Ladipo, 25, lying motionless under a tangle of tubes, she couldn t believe what happened. So we prayed, we called all our pastors, all the Nigerian pastors in our community, even the Liberians, she said. It was like a horror movie, watching your son die, just sitting there and I couldn t do anything. Two days later he was dead. Witnesses told police that Awwal had been jumped by a group of men outside an after-hours party July 24 near N. Lowry and Newton avenues in north Minneapolis. As he lay vulnerable, several of his attackers continued punching and kicking him, his mother said.
