A young man from Knoxville, TN, died this weekend after using his body to shield 3 people from stray bullets.
Zaevion Dobson was a 15 year old sophomore and a starting linebackers for Fulton High School's football team. His friends and teachers described him as a kid who others wanted to be around, who would make you laugh and smile.
The shooting is thought to be gang-related, and the suspected shooter was found after he crashed his car into a building later that night. He died the next morning from his injuries.
KSR's Freddie Maggard knows the coach of Fulton High School well and has
asked that we consider donating to a scholarship fund in Dobson's name via
this GoFundMe campaign:
It's certainly a worthy cause. Thoughts and prayers go out to Zaevion's family and friends.
