Described as a loving child with a contagious smile, his family highlighted that Morgan-Gloud had been working on turning his life around. Despite his struggles in the past, they insisted that the image painted of him with the gun was not an accurate representation.
His family blamed the gang culture in the area for leading young men astray, expressing their frustration with the influence these groups have on impressionable individuals.
Heartbroken by the loss of Morgan-Gloud, his family shared the toll his death has taken on them, with his mother falling ill due to the overwhelming grief. One family member extended well wishes to his killers and those involved in gang violence, emphasizing the complexities of the situation.
