Gun violence victim Krissa A. Henderson-Burruss honored, criminal justice scholarship given.
A celebration of life took place at Virginia Union University this morning for Krissa A. Henderson-Burruss, a VUU criminal justice major, who was a victim of gun violence in 2018.
Four years and one day later, she was honored by a placement of an inscribed boulder near Henderson Hall with the students, administration, and her mother Kristy Burrus in attendance.
Burrus presented VUU junior Alexis Westbrooks, a criminal justice major, with a scholarship from the Krissia Ansara Foundation. Burrus created the foundation after her daughter’s death to support VUU students in the criminal justice field.
