A Louisiana high school quarterback died Saturday after a shooting at a graduation party, a coroner said.
Bryant Lee, 18, was shot while attending the party a few blocks from his home in North Baton Rouge. Baton Rouge police said Lee was shot once in the head, while two others received minor injuries.
"It's a sad situation," Ken Hilton, head football coach at McKinley High School, told WBRZ-TV. "He was going to graduate in three days with a 3.5 GPA."
Baton Rouge police spokesman Sgt. L’Jean McKneely said investigators were still searching for a motive and that the shooter was still on the run, according to The Advocate of Baton Rouge.
"This was not a young man who was in and out of trouble or some gang thing," Hilton said. "It was a kid who in my eyes was a good kid. Everything he said was 'no, sir' or 'yes, sir' and shook your hand.”
Lee had already been shot once during the school year. He was hit in the leg in a drive-by shooting in November, but returned home the next day, according to The Advocate.
Lee was planning on attending Southern University in hopes to make the football team as a walk-on.

People that do his should be hanged in public in front of this home
One week for trail and one week for appeal
Shot twice in one year?I suspect there’s a lot more to the story.
“This was not a young man who was in and out of trouble or some gang thing,”
He just liked hanging around people that were, apparently.
Age old medical truism. Any given Friday night three young guys, two girls, and a case of beer. ER has work at 2:00 am on Saturday. The particulars may change with current practices and tastes but the dynamic is the same.
The local gang members could have crashed the party...
Probably not a good neighborhood to live in...not all kids are bad
We will probably learn more when the guy is caught

Comments from locals
Motive? One question should answer that: was he black?
Good catch!
The people who claim that the KKK is a thing of the past need to read some of those comments. It appears that KKK is alive and well in Louisiana.
Don’t expect to see “No justice no peace” demonstrations for this one unless the shooter was white.
Maybe Southern University can go ahead and give him that degree now?
I’m going to guess 0bama’s sons
Recognzing black criminality makes one a Klansman? You’re absurd.
Shooting occurred at 1:50 AM? Sigh.
Maybe he’ll still get a degree like Trayvon Martin, maybe in Nuclear Engineering?
It’s not skin color. It’s culture.
“We are one nation — and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success.”
It’s a reality in urban black life that you could be a straight arrow, but your friends are peripherals. It’s not possible to avoid gangs in the inner city either.
They said Trevon Martin was a good kid too. Shot once before? Yeah, lots more to this story.
Not just urban “black” life. Urban life in general.
