Charity Johnson, 14, died Monday after fighting for her life for a week following a shooting on Chicago's West Side.
Johnson was just two months shy of her 15th birthday when she was killed.
The Michele Clark Academic Prep freshman was shot on Lorel Avenue near Madison in the city's Austin neighborhood. Witnesses told police there was an argument before several shots were fired, one of them striking the teen."No mother, no grandmother, no brother, nor sister should be burying a child. She's just a child," said grandmother Felisa Johnson."My daughter was the most charismatic person that I knew," her father said.
"I won't see my baby walk down the aisle, I won't see her go on her prom and that hurts," Felisa Johnson said.Charity's family had her organs donated so, her grandmother said, she can live on through others.
