EBON SEKOU LURKS

btw-headstone-ebon-sekou-lurks-web.jpg

Sekou Lurks' family called him Cookie. He was the one who made everybody else laugh. He was the youngest of Hattie Lurks' four children. "I really spoiled him, he was kinda like a momma's boy." That's why Hattie Lurks begged her son not to help the FBI go after drug dealers. But, he said the money helped support his young sons and he was doing it for good, not because he had too. The US Attorney said,"This kid is not a snitch, he was a cooperating witness. He was not under the thumb of the law. He was just trying to help by providing information." In fact, Sekou helped police arrest a number of major crack dealers.

But Sekou was murdered before he could testify. Someone lured Sekou out of him home on January 28th, 1998, and then shot him three times with a shotgun. He ran, but only made it 75 feet before he died.
