Free McDonald's Happy Meals were handed out Sunday on the city's West Side in remembrance of a young victim of gun violence .
Family of friends of Mekhi James spread joy in a small package to honor a life and joy taken from them. "Mehki just not another name. He's not just another hashtag," family member Nicole McGee said. "He was our cousin. He was somebody.""It stole a very innocent moment that kids should be able to enjoy, and because a bullet took that, we are taking it back," McGee said.
Since his death, his cousin McGee has made it her mission to remember Mekhi and other children who were impacted by gun violence by hosting "McDonalds with Mekhi." "This is not just for Mekhi, but it's for all kids who are victims," McGee said. "A Happy Meal is small. It's loved, it's innocent. Each of these kids were small, they were all loved and they were all innocent. So we're just sharing what he should have had with everyone who should have it.""It seems like it's never ending, and for me we all have to find where our strengths lie, mine does not lie in chasing killers.
