MILWAUKEE — Family members of 18-year-old Na’Mar Hicks gathered outside Assata High School on Saturday to honor his life one day after he was shot and killed near the school.

“We had plans today, but these were not the plans we had,” Hicks’ aunt, Tonya Ross, said through tears.

The Milwaukee Police Department said the shooting happened around 11:51 a.m. Friday on the 4600 block of N. Hopkins Street.

Hicks’ family told TMJ4 News that Hicks, an Assata High School student, had just left for early dismissal as part of his regular school and work schedule.
