The Miami area is in mourning this week after the horrible news came down that a local high school football coach passed away.
Corey Smith, the head coach at Miami Senior High School, tragically passed away following multiple gunshot wounds, according to a report from the Miami Herald.
It’s unclear if Smith’s nephew is a suspect in the case, as he was the only other person on the property at the time of Smith’s death.
“The 15-year-old in the home was unharmed. Police are still talking to him,” Miami-Dade Detective Alvaro Zabaleta said Monday afternoon. “We’re still waiting on a warrant to get into the home.”
University of Miami head coach Manny Diaz released a statement following Smith’s passing. “Our entire football program is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Corey Smith. Our condolences go out to his family and the entire Miami High community,” he said.
Hip hop legend Luther Campbell also extended his condolences to Smith’s family.
