Dozens of people gathered at Sampson Park to celebrate the life of a 19-year-old killed at a party in the Lower 9th Ward earlier this week. Hundreds of Balloons were released to honor Kyron Peters. The New Orleans teenager was shot and killed outside party the day after Christmas. He was set to graduate from Booker T. Washington High School this year and had dreams of playing in the NBA. But it’s his laugh that his aunt Precious Peters remembers the most. “Kyron was a fun-loving kid,” she said. “He loved his sports. He wasn’t no gang banger or nothing. He never played with guns.”
