    Revisiting 'Young Survivors: The Unspoken Trauma of Gun Violence,' a WLRN series
    Mar 2 2026
    We are sad to share news of the death of Aaron Willis. When Aaron was 15, he was shot off his bicycle by an unknown assailant. His injuries made him paraplegic and weighed heavily on his mental health. His story was part of a WLRN special production, Young Survivors: The Unspoken Trauma of Gun Violence reported by Sammy Mack, Nadege Green and Rowan Moore Gerety. The trajectory of violence can be long and complicated. Aaron’s family continues to be candid about his struggles. Aaron Willis died in February of 2026 by suicide, a complication from a 2012 gunshot wound to the spine. If you or someone you know is struggling, you can reach the national Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by calling 988 or visiting 988lifeline.org. WLRN is re-sharing stories from the series.

    A WLRN investigation identified serious disciplinary issues and lax oversight by the West Palm Beach Police Department well before officers in an elite police unit called "GHOST" were indicted for allegedly covering up a chase that killed a pregnant woman and her mother in July 2024. The investigation comes as the department's new chief seeks to re-establish a street crimes unit, since GHOST was disbanded.

    Last year more than 5,000 people in Haiti were killed in gang-related violence. The country has been in a political crisis for years. And for Haitians in America with feet in two worlds, reality in both countries is unstable. To better understand the story, public radio stations in the three cities with the largest Haitian populations in America teamed up to open the phones and hear from Haitian listeners.Brian Lehrer (WNYC, New York City), with Saraya Wintersmith (GBH News, Boston) and Tim Padgett (WLRN, Miami) hosted the 90-minute special, “Haiti on the Line,” which aired live across all three stations on Feb. 24, 2025. This call-in special highlighted the personal experiences of listeners in these communities, who shared their stories about their relationship to Haiti and the current crisis and explored the new realities migrants and refugees face here in America.The hosts were joined by special guests and experts on the situation, including:Widlore Merancourt, journalist and editor-in-chief of Haitian news outlet AyiboPostJacqueline Charles, reporter for the Miami Herald who was a Pulitzer Prize finalist for her work covering the 2010 Haiti earthquakeDr. Geralde Gabeau, executive director of the Immigrant Family Services Institute
