Jhalil Shands, 25 years old, was out on a date with his high school sweetheart in Old City, Philadelphia, when three people jumped out of a car and brutally shot and killed him. He was loved by his family and lived a good life, but still found himself in the middle of a dangerous world. In the final episode of “Ricochet”, we hear from Jhalil’s family and other mothers who have lost their children to gun violence, and two psychologists break down how trauma impacts both parents and children, how race and toxic masculinity are tied into the cycle of violence, and what kids need in order to see a different path.

Pete Kane is a photojournalist at NBC10 in Philadelphia. You met him in Episode 7: Officer Cione -- he talked about what it was like living in the neighborhood where Fred Cione was murdered, and described what the next few weeks and months were like in the middle of an intense investigation. But that's just what we used in the actual episode. Pete also told us incredible stories about growing up in North Philly in the middle of gang wars, watching the riots after Dr. King was assassinated, living through the crack epidemic of the 1980s, and saving a man's life on a bridge. We wanted to make sure you could hear Pete's stories too, so we made this extra.
Thank you, very much, to Pete Kane and NBC10 for making this episode possible.
