One of my closest friends, Tomiko Edwards Crocheron, received news that no parent ever should. Her only son, DeAndre Rogers, is no longer living. DeAndre was found hanging in a carport in Grand Junction, Colorado on September 21, 2020.

Before the investigation was even complete, the police and coroner ruled it a suicide, even though there are several avenues that have not been pursued with the Investigation. We are now raising funds to ensure that we can preserve his body for a thorough investigation.

The circumstances of his death and the investigation are questionable to say the least, and in the midst of her grief and justifiable anger, the last thing she should have to worry about is figuring out how to afford the burial of her only son.

DeAndre was an active protester, and did not shy from speaking the truth in the face of anyone. I have attached a video of him protesting at the Grand Junction Police department a few months before his death in which he described the inhumane treatment they received in the area.

My friend Tomiko is and amazingly kind woman, and the grief she is carrying is unimaginable. If you can donate anything, please help us in this fight for justice. Link to GoFundMe: http://gf.me/u/y2c86z ">https://gf.me/u/y2c86z&...
