Every year, a bunch of talented college stars find a home on the national teams of the NFL. Nevertheless, in spite of being a top talent, many of them can not get the opportunity to reach that level to claim their draft, and Se’Mauri Norris-Johnson ended up being among those unfortunates.
Before his dream of playing in the NFL came true, Desert Pines High School’s star player found himself the victim of a serious incident, leaving the world for good.
How did Se’Mauri Norris-Johnson die?
According to a report by the Daily Mail, Se’Mauri Norris-Johnson was enjoying his time with his friends at a Halloween party in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday.
Two young men attending trick-or-treating were approached by a group of teenagers who got out of a car. They were all donning masks of the sky. Unexpectedly, one of the trick-or-treaters proceeded to engage in shooting and shot a fire at Johsnon.
The incident was informed to police and soon after their arrival, they announced that the 17-year-old already embraced death.
The demise of a rising star at such a young age shocked the whole football world. Johnson’s school conveyed their condolences over the death of their young star.
“Things don’t make sense sometimes. Gone too young but never forgotten. Our love to friends, family and loved ones hurt by this tragedy. Rest in love kid.”
