DeMarcus Cousins to Pay for Funeral of Slain Grant HS Football Player

A Northern California high school and its supporters are mourning after a 17-year-old senior was shot to death, apparently at random, before a football game Friday night. After finishing their food, the group loaded into a auto driven by Clavo and were on their way back to campus when someone fired shots into the vehicle, according to multiple reports. Both Clavo and Johnson are football players. Johnson would survive the random act of violence, but sadly, Clavo succumbed to his injuries at a local Sacramento hospital on Friday evening. The other passengers were unharmed.

A community meeting and march has been organized for Tuesday night at the Allen Chapel AME on Grand Avenue in response to gun violence that killed a Grant High student and injured another.

The Sacramento Police Department said the five were stopped at an intersection about a mile from campus when a still-unidentified gunman opened fire at 3:24 p.m.

Grant’s Sac-Joaquin Section Division II game with Beyer (Modesto) was postponed. As a community mourns and tries to understand a tragedy, Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins is doing what he can to help Clavo’s family.
