Community remembers 9-year-old King Overton, who died swimming at summer camp in Henrico

Hundreds of motorcycles, cars and slingshots rolled through Henrico County on Saturday in honor of King Overton.

Overton, 9, died after being pulled from a SwimRVA summer camp pool June 15.

The memorial ride came with a police escort — and a clear message from King's family.

"We want justice. Let's be very clear about that," a spokesperson for the family told the crowd after riders reached their destination. "We are so grateful for all of you, but we want justice."

The memorial ride was organized around something King loved. His mother, LaTaisha Johnson, had one request for the community following her son's death.

"What we understood was that he loved motorcycles and that he wanted to learn how to ride a motorcycle," Tony "Cuz" Cousin, one of the memorial riders, said. "We are taking King's request to heart. And if he was here, trust me, we'd all make sure that he could get on each one of these bikes if we could."
