Musicians, relatives honor slain B’klyn DJ

Led by a truck blasting music, fellow musicians and relatives took to the streets of Brooklyn on Sunday to honor Jomo “DJ Trouble” Glasgow and protest the gun violence that took his life.

Glasgow, 35, was fatally shot in the chest on his way to his car while attending a house party on E. 49th Street near Church Ave. in East Flatbush early on June 17. Relatives say he was trying to break up an argument between two men.

“He loved to make people happy, and he did that through his music,” said his mother, Hazel Thomas, who held a banner with her son’s name on it as she marched down Church Ave. in Flatbush.

No arrests have made in the shooting.

Glasgow left behind two young daughters. His wife, been

Valecia Heaven, joined the several hundred marchers led by DJs and musicians.

“It’s hard,” said Heaven, 32. “But this puts me in such a better place. I didn’t know this many people would come out. It helps with the grieving.”

Many of the supporters wore shirts with Glasgow’s name and face, some saying “Deh Deh,” a phrase which

Jomo would use while he was DJing.

“That means he is here with us,” his mother said.

“I really appreciate the support from family and friends, that is what strengthens me,” Thomas added. “We wanted to honor him and show how he lived, but also bring awareness to gun violence in our community.”

“Today is DJ Trouble’s Day, Jomo’s Day. It’s not a normal Sunday,” said Kevin Crown, a fellow DJ and close friend. “If it was one of us, he’d be out here marching.”

Crown led the crowd in chants of “Justice for Jomo” and “End gun violence.”

The march was organized by Glasgow’s cousin Destiny Kirk, 21, through her organization Destined for Success, which aims to teach professional literacy to high school students in underserved communities.

“As a community we have seen too many young black men die of gun violence,” Kirk said.

“Black lives matter … it does not matter who is taking the life,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, addressing the crowd.

“It makes you realize it could be anyone any given day,” said Delroy James, 34, a friend of Glasgow’s.
