Every day in the U.S. about 108 people are shot dead in one way or another. At GunMemorial.org we try to post pages for all of these people even though the circumstances of their deaths can be drastically different.

Fatally shot on April 7, 2016 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Hooks shot his former supervisor in the parking lot of a workplace that he had been fired from months ago. The supervisor shielded himself with his briefcase and survived. Hooks later shot himself.
