Nathalie Jean has created an emotional memorial in her living room dedicated to Yahkeim Lollar, known to family and friends as Keimo. Jean says Yahkeim always had a radiant, “million-dollar smile,” yet never anticipated having to set aside such a space in his honor.
On December 20, Yahkeim was fatally stabbed at their apartment building near Northwest 6th Court and 61st Street. Jean recounted how, upon receiving a distressing phone call that something had occurred, she immediately ran down stairs; when she reached police headquarters they informed her of Yahkeim’s demise.
Jean and her family are devastated, mourning the sudden end of such a vibrant young life.
