I'm only getting third hand information from former students who are getting it from snap chat and instagram. It is conflicting.


I know some people read that this kid got shot twice in six moths and have a hard time believing he was a good kid. They read about his coach and his family calling him a great kid and want to derisively call him a dindu. But teaching this kid for two years, I have a hard time believing he was up to no good. And even if he was involved in some minor drug deals, he didn't deserve to be shot in the head. He was still a kid with 3.5 GPA who attending college and majoring in engineering. And it isn't his fault he was born in North Baton Rouge and not Ascension or Livingston or any other place worth that may be worth a damn, a place where he could be surrounded by better people. And it isn't as if kids at Parkview and Catholic aren't doing bars and smoking pot, they just have better connections and don't typically get shot when buying.

I met him a couple of times, and spoke with him for a few minutes - he was a good kid no doubt - I would be stunned if he were up to no good.
