Marcella Thompson believes what happened to her son in the early evening of June 12 could happen to any child on any street in any Cincinnati neighborhood.
She believes the stray bullet that struck 8-year-old Marcellus, a third-grader who loves Disney movies and Pee Wee football, could have found another mother’s son, and turned another family inside out with grief and worry.
But Thompson, who lives in East Westwood, also believes not everyone shares that risk equally. The way she sees it, her city is divided between places where the violence that seriously injured her son is tolerated, and places where it is not.
