This small shoe shrine is to William Lee Boney, Jr. It is in the 1100 block of Stevens Rd, SE, Washington, DC.
While photographing, I met members of his family at this site. It was the day of Mr. Boney's funeral. They were attending the service later that afternoon. They told me clearly and firmly that he'd been quite a good young man, and that the whole situation was very sad.
In an unusual turn of events, the young man who allegedly killed him turned himself into the police on his own.
Let us trust that justice is served, and that all the broken hearts are mended as best can be.
