Promising High School Football Player Shot to Death |
Authorities say a popular high school football player who coaches said was on track to play for the University of Miami was fatally shot outside his home.
Seventeen-year-old Cedric Mills was shot twice by an unidentified gunman in a car at 6:24 Wednesday afternoon. Tampa police said the Jefferson High School linebacker known as "CJ" was shot by an unidentified gunman in a car. Doctors officially declared him dead a little more than an hour later.
Jefferson High coach Mike Fenton said University of Miami recruiters were following the sophomore's high school career. Even competing coaches were pointing Mills out to recruiters.
Plant High football coach Robert Weiner told The Tampa Tribune that he felt like by the time Mills was a senior he could play anywhere in the country one day.Labels: high school |
