Colon was shot in the head during a drive-by. Mill took to Instagram to honor his cousin, posting #RIPLO, before venting his frustration about violence that continues to plague Philadelphia and other cities. Meek said in the post, “My mission is to save my family from these streets and change the mind frame of all my lil cousins growing up in it!!!”
