Lateef O’Joye 1981-2009

Lateef O’Joye, a fellow Passaic-ian, near and dear, was fatally shot this past Friday night while in his car. He then proceeded to drive a few blocks to his family’s home where he died.
The reason for the shooting isn’t known as of right now. But with the exception of closure for his family, it doesn’t really matter. The fact is that another young black man is gone…and for what? Senseless violence.
The loss of Lateef is just another reminder of our own mortality. He was probably one of the funniest, brightest people I knew and his absence leaves a hole in many hearts. He will be truly missed by his friends and family
