The Fight for Justice

Preston Lord was at a Halloween party in suburban Queen Creek, Arizona, on October 28, 2023. As he tried to leave the party, he was blitzed-styled attacked by a gang of teenagers known in the community as the “Gilbert Goons.” Preston died due to severe traumatic brain injuries he suffered at the hands of his attackers. His death shed light on teen violence in the East Valley and brought the community together to work towards positive changes.

This website is dedicated to the mission and purpose of finding #Justice4PrestonLord. It will be a source of information for events, activities, fundraising efforts, and other endeavors to bring awareness to the issue of teen violence.

Thanks to everyone who supports the Lord family and the fight for justice in every teen violence case. We appreciate you more than words could ever express.
