In the wake of a violent death at a Champaign intersection, the Congolese community gathered outside the county courthouse to ensure that grief would not pass unwitnessed. Nzengeli Mfwamba, killed by hammer and blade, was mourned not only as an individual but as a brother — a word that carries the full weight of communal belonging. The suspect, Dominic Fortune, a man connected to the victim through family, was set to face the court, as the community made clear that legal process and human accountability must move together.
