PROVIDENCE -- Dujuan Hayes had intended to pick up his younger brother Dennis, a 16-year-old Mount Pleasant High School student, and take him Friday from the tough and sometimes violent atmosphere at Chad Brown housing complex.
"My mother and I talked about it. Things were getting bad at the projects . . . I was going to take him [Dennis] over to live with me" in the West End, said Dujuan.
But instead, Dujuan Hayes found himself sitting in a rescue vehicle early Friday watching Dennis -- mortally wounded by gunfire -- pass from this world.
