A teenage basketball player has been shot de.ad outside of his home in Philadelphia
Noah Scurry, 17, a basketball player at Sameul Fels High School, was k!lled on Tuesday morning as he was getting into his mom’s car to go to school.
Police said they have recovered a jeep that could be linked to the fatal shooting but they are still working to establish a motive.
‘No arrests have been made and no weapon was recovered,’ the Philadelphia Police Department said to TMZ.
Cops are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the shooting.
A neighbor of Scurry’s told NBC10 Philadelphia: ‘It was multiple shots at once. The first thing I thought was to grab my son and throw him on the floor.’
His high school principal Melissa Rasper confirmed Scurry’s de.ath in an open letter published on the school’s social media, offering students counselling in the aftermath of the k!lling.
‘It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you of the passing of one of our students whose life was tragically taken this morning near his home,’ Rasper said.
‘Our deepest condolences and thoughts go out to the family and friends of this student.
A GoFundMe has also been set up to help cover the costs of Scurry’s funeral, looking to raise $3,500.
