This is awesome!

The Queen City is still in shock after the horrible shooting at UNCC a week ago.

The community has since rallied together in support of the victims from the horrible shooting; Rami Al-Ramadhan, Sean DeHart, Emily Houpt, Drew Pescaro, Reed Parlier, and Riley Howell.

Monday, street artist Shane Pierce, who is known as ‘Abstract Dissent,’ put final touches on his latest work; a tribute to the victims of the UNCC shooting.

Pierce is talking with UNC Charlotte to try to place the art somewhere on campus. If that doesn’t work out, he says he’s considering auctioning it off, with 100 percent proceeds to those impacted by the shooting.
