R.I.P. Lakessha Johnson ABC news is reporting that a young woman named Lakessha Johnson has died from complications sustained in a shooting.  I'm always saddened by reports of gun violence, but this story has a particularly unique twist: Lakessha was originally shot in 1998.  The story goes on to say that her shooter, Ronnie Brown, served two years in prison for accidentally shooting Lakessha in the back.  Apparently, Brown was sitting in the backseat of a car and picked up a bag containing a loaded firearm, which went off.  The bullet hit Lakessha in the back, leaving her paralyzed.  During the next 13 years of her life, Lakessha suffered through a long list of health complications.  3 years ago, Lakessha had to have her legs amputated.  She leaves behind three children and now Ronnie Brown may face murder charges. This is a tragic story on so many levels.  My condolences go out to Lakessha's family.  I can't imagine how difficult this must be for them.   I hope that
