Robinson's grandma, Shannon Nkrumah: "I need my baby, and he isn't here. I can't get my baby back."
A hundred people filled a block of Greenwood Street Thursday evening to show their love for Aaron Robinson, the goofy, energetic 15-year-old kid who died in a shooting earlier in the week.
Friends and family lit candles, shared memories, burst into tears, and released balloons into the sky with the resounding message: “Long Live A!”

For the second Thursday in a row, demonstrators gathered by Tweed New Haven Airport to protest Avelo’s contract to carry out deportation flights for the Trump administration.
The crowd was three times bigger than last week’s — and saw local, state, and federal politicians turn out to show their support.
Hope Chávez: "There's always something you can do."
Pastor Jack: "We should all be outraged by this outrage [of deportations]."
Tweed’s board chair doesn’t plan on boycotting Avelo Airlines — as he seeks to stay away from a deportation-contract controversy he said the airport has no control over.
Robert Reed, the chair of the airport authority’s board of directors, presented that bid for neutrality after activists turned out to the board’s latest monthly meeting to press the agency to take a stand against the airport’s busiest flyer.
