Jaylon McKenzie, a middle school sports star in Illinois, shot and killed by a stray bullet at a post-prom party.

A middle school football player, who had dreams to play in the NFL and was named by Sports Illustrated as someone who"will rule the future in sports," was shot dead by a stray bullet at a party over the weekend.

"Officers immediately began life-saving measures before both victims were transported from the scene to area hospitals," the department said in a press release. According to the magazine, McKenzie, who played running back, wide receiver and defensive back, had plans on going to NFL and said he wanted to follow in the footsteps of Tennessee Titans player Adoree' Jackson, who is also from the city McKenzie lived in.

Damn. 14 years old at a house party that late? I had to be in bed at 10 o’clock when I was 14. I hope they catch the asshole that did the shooting.

Sad story because he was not a thug but was killed by one. Until we decide to start locking up people who commit violent acts then we can expect to see stories like this.
