CNN —To hear 11-year-old De’Evan McFall tell it, he was going all the way to the NFL or NBA.
And De’Evan could have been far more than a youth league legend if he had the chance, the coach believes.
But on January 15, De’Evan was shot and killed by a stray bullet fired by a teenage girl who was fighting another girl, Dallas police said.
The teen who fired the gun had been fighting De’Evan’s sister, according to De’Evan’s mother, Vashunte Settles.
In just seconds, Settles became one of the hundreds of parents to lose children to gun violence this year.
