Such a shame kids killing kids probably. No respect or sanctity of life.

May the Peace of Christ meet his soul and may the Resurrection of the Dead and the Life of the World to come be our hope...

Here's a story on him from last year: Stanford motivated by family members he's lost » Knoxville News Sentinel

I played in a couple pick-up games with him when we were both in middle school. Really funny guy, and he could flat out play.

Man I remember when the little girl was shot by being in wrong spot when those losers shot up lonsdale homes. A whole family wiped out within a few years. Terrible.

One of the best passers I have ever seen in high school basketball from around here.

Was he playing college ball anywhere? Sad.. whether it was by his own hand or someone else's, it is just too sad...

It just shows how lucky most of us are. Many people underestimate the blessings they have and only focus on the cons of life. Gotta feel sorry for the kid and everything he endured. Just goes to show you, no matter how bad you think you have it, somebody always has it worse.

This breaks my heart. May God's peace be with Tookie and healing for the remaining family and friends.
