2 years later, he was shot 11 times.

He miraculously survived and has since started a youth empowerment organization to support and uplift young people.

On Saturday, Keep Empowering Youth held a gun violence awareness event at Arundel Mills.

Their goal is to mentor youth, promote peace, and encourage young people to choose a better path despite difficult circumstances.

Cornish says he'll have a back-to-school event coming up.
