Philadelphia’s Samuel Fels High School is in mourning as one of its students, 17-year-old Noah Scurry, was sh*t and k*lled outside of his home while his mother was getting ready to take him to school.
Scurry, a star player on the school’s basketball team, is believed to have been k*lled in a targeted sh**ting around 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning, with witnesses claiming to have heard around 20 shots being fired.
Police told FOX 29 that Scurry had appeared in a rap video wearing a “Joker” mask and holding guns the previous day. Several other individuals, all unmasked, were seen dancing around him and showing off firearms.
Noah Scurry was both an excellent student and athlete. He was described as an “exceptional” individual by spokesperson Monique Braxton, who noted that the principal, basketball coach, and school community were devastated by his murder.
