High school hockey player, 16, dies after being shot while driving home from game with dad
ST. LOUIS (KMOV/Gray News) A high school hockey player who was shot by a stray bullet while driving home from a game near St. Louis has died, police said.
Colin Brown, 16, played in a hockey game for Christian Brothers College High School (CBC) at the Affton Ice Rink on Saturday evening.
After the game, he was driving home in a car with his father when he was shot on Interstate 55 on Saturday around 10:30 p.m. Police suspect he was struck by a stray bullet.
Colin was taken to an area hospital with serious injuries. On Wednesday, officials announced that Colin had died.
His family said his organs were donated.
St. Louis Mayor Tishaura O. Jones described the shooting in a statement as a senseless and reckless act of violence:
The death of Colin Brown is devastating news for our entire community. We all prayed for a miracle and are now overwhelmed with sadness, grief and anger that this innocent teenager's life was taken. As the mother of a teenage son, I grieve with all who knew and loved this young man. We will never get real justice for the loss of Colin's life. But I know that the great officers of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department will continue to do everything they can to find out who is responsible for this senseless and reckless act of violence and hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Everyone who knew and loved Colin is in my prayers.
On Monday, coaches, teams and players from the Missouri and Illinois hockey communities gathered at the Metro Rec Plex in OFallon, Illinois for a prayer vigil in support of the Brown family.
The vigil was organized by Colin's former team, the OFallon Panthers.
Colin was on the OFallon Township High School team before transferring to CBC this school year.
People don't understand the importance of the hockey family and the hockey community, said Dan Sommer, the Panthers' assistant coach.
Nearly 200 people attended the vigil.
He's the type of kid every coach wants on his team, CBC Hockey Coach Ryan Trenz said.
The nonprofit DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation has set up a fundraiser to help the Colins family. The foundation's board has approved a 3-for-1 matching program for every dollar donated, up to $2,500. Click here donate.
