Raleigh police arrested three men Monday and charged them in connection with the shooting death Friday night of 13-year-old of Keyshawn Tyrell Gregory.
Posted — UpdatedGregory never made it back.
Brown was driving some players home from practice when he got the news of Gregory's death.
"The kids who were still in the van were devastated. We were all just messed up when we got that call," he said.
Raleigh police arrested three men, also teens, in connection with Gregory's death.
At Haven House, non-profit whose goal is to support at-risk youth, Patricia Cardoso said the age of the victim and the suspects is saddening but not a surprise. Haven House is seeing children as young as 7 and 9 years old who are at risk, she said.
One key, she said, is keeping kids busy with productive activities, like Gregory's basketball team.
"I feel like 'Shawn was one of those kids who I felt was really using the program to his benefit," Brown said.
