It has been more than six years since senseless violence claimed the life of a young Chicago model named Kaylyn Pryor.
On Saturday, Pryor will get a special honor in her memory. But as CBS 2's Charlie De Mar reported Friday night, there is something else her family wants too.– and everything she accomplished in 20 years. He unfurled an image of his daughter when she was a model competing in Mario Tricoci's"Mario, Make Me a Model."
We spoke with Kaylyn after she won the"Mario, Make Me a Model" competition in September 2015 – beating out 500 other competitors. She told CBS 2's Derrick Young at the time that she hoped to"open new doors and start a new journey."On Nov. 2, 2015, Kaylyn, 20, was shot and killed in a drive-by. More than six years later, Scott still remembers that devastating phone call.
Kaylyn was leaving her grandmother's house in Englewood — the same home her dad grew up in - and she was headed back home-here to Evanston
