Gun violence – a mother’s perspective 24 years later
Update: 2025-07-11
Description
All of us are familiar with the headlines – another young man shot and killed in Toronto. But we don’t often hear what comes next – let alone the impact decades later.
In this episode, Julia Farquharson tells Mary Wiens about her son, Segun, a promising young hockey player. Some people will still remember his death 24 years later because it was captured on a cellphone recording—a rarity in 2001.
Julia told Mary she still feels his presence every day and her faith gives her an extraordinary peace of mind.
Note: Please excuse some of the slight audio distortion in the final segment with Julia.
