An African American teenager has become the second survivor of the tragic school shooting in Parkland, Fla., to commit suicide in the space of a week.
The parents of Calvin Desir, 16, who was a sophomore at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, confirmed his identity, according to the Miami Herald. Coral Springs, Fla., police say the young man took his own life Saturday evening, just a week after fellow survivor, 19-year-old Sydney Aiello did the same.

Desir’s sister, Brittany Wright, set up a GoFundMe page and also wrote about how prior to his untimely death, her brother dreamed of becoming an engineer “which inspired him to always find new projects around the house to challenge his skills.”
“My family is grieving over the loss of a wonderful and amazing son, brother, nephew, and friend,” Wright shares. “We are raising money to support all funeral cost for my brother.”
