GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids city leaders are set to hear from the community about whether to commemorate a street in honor of Amillier Penn.
The 15-year-old was shot and killed while playing football with his friends last June. A suspect has been charged in the case.
Amillier's father, Corey Penn, is behind the push — not only to remember his son but to remind young people of the consequences of gun violence.

If approved, Umatilla Street from Madison Avenue to Union Avenue would be designated as "Amillier Penn Way."
