On the 13th of October 2022, kind and gentle 15-year-old Cassius Turvey was viciously attacked with a metal pole by men who were unknown to him, while he was walking home. They incorrectly presumed he was the person responsible for breaking windows in the neighbourhood.
A few days later, Cassius was placed in a medically induced coma and on 23rd October, this very loved teenager passed away.

"Last month the killing of Noongar-Yamatji schoolboy Cassius Turvey made news across the globe and led to a national outpouring of grief and anger."
Now a mother "says her son and his friends have been targeted in playgrounds, in the streets and while walking to friends’ and families’ homes, by people assuming they are “troublemakers”."

Whadjuk-Ballardong Noongar man Sam May has paid tribute to his younger cousin Cassius Turvey ahead of a vigil in Thornbury.
May hoped Cassius could "feel the embrace" of people honouring his mark on the world. #JusticeForCassius #CassiusTurvey

Tried but couldn't make it to the local #JusticeForCassiusTurvey vigil. My heart goes out to his family and friends mourning a life stolen.
I truly hope this is a turning point for this racist colony. Pessimistic though.

Today across the country there are vigils for a 15-year-old Indigenous schoolboy, Cassius Turvey, who was brutally murdered in a racist attack a week ago, walking home from school in Boorloo (Perth). Unbelievably, the WA police commissioner said he ‘was in the wrong place and the wrong time’. I grieve for this poor boy and am enraged by the ongoing injustice to Indigenous mob. An Aboriginal boy walking anywhere on country should never be in the wrong place at the wrong time! #JusticeForCassius
