Rip Ki’Anthony Tyus. #weallwegot Just know that every decision comes with consequences and no one is too young to die. My prayers go out to his family.”

Ki’Anthony became an anti-gun activist and the face of Louisville’s “Hood 2 Hood” movement after being hit by a stray bullet while playing basketball in 2015. Master P first met the child after that shooting and he wrote about Tyus’ death earlier this week on IG.
“I know I’m not God and I can’t save the world. I realized a lot of these adults are not going to listen. The real reason I leave my mansion to keep coming back to the hood is to educate and try to save the next generation. Maybe a lot of us didn’t get what we wanted for Christmas but we should be thankful we are alive,” the wrote. Adding that Tyus “Could’ve been the next Lebron James.”
A memorial for Ki’Anthony Tyus was held on Sunday and the funeral is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 3, at noon at Cornerstone Baptist Church.
