Antwanisha Morgan was making the right choices, having learned from her family's struggles as she grew up in San Francisco's troubled Bayview.
The 17-year-old was set to graduate from South San Francisco High School in June. She had spent four years preparing for college. She was about to go on a bus tour to check out universities in the South.
But her promising life was cut short when she was gunned down outside a Bayview community youth center where she and her brother had been Friday night, an innocent victim of apparent gang violence. "Nisha,'' as she was known, as a 5-foot-1 dynamo who dreamed of becoming an actress but wanted to go to college to study forensics and criminal justice. She was hooked on television shows like "CSI" and "Law & Order," with family members always recording them for her when she was busy with after-school activities. Morgan sang in the choir of the Providence Baptist Church in the Bayview, which she started attending at age 6. She also liked to act and dance.
