Stone comes from a New Orleans family plagued by violence. His mother, Melissa Stone, a lifelong resident of the city, was killed in May 1998, abducted on her way to meet friends for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Fest. Her body was found three days later in an an abandoned apartment in the Desire public housing complex.

Three of his six siblings were also killed in New Orleans shootings. In 2011, his brother Ken Stone, 20, was killed in an Uptown triple shooting. Three years later, his other brother Gregory Stone, 25, was killed in the 7th Ward. Then, in 2016, his sister, Glenquel Emerson, 20, was one of three murdered in a Mid-City shooting.

Multiple children sat on the porches of nearby homes. Some played with their phones. One stroked a small brown dog and another sat while an older woman braided her hair. Occasionally, they'd lift their heads to look toward Stone's body still lying in the street.
