19-year-old victim, Quintonio Legrier, reportedly developed a mental illness this past September which may have been the cause of his disturbance that ultimately claimed his life. In a news interview his mother told reporters that her son, who was her only child, was not a violent person and that not every person is a “thug”. Legrier was a honor student at the Northern Illinois University with a major in engineering.
