-area teenager was soaring in high school, taking college courses, making great grades, excelling in sports and band, when the unthinkable happened.
"One minute after it happened, my daughter called me, and she was hysterical. ‘Mom, you need to get here now.’ So, they were literally around the corner from the house. So, we drove on the street. Had to get out of the car, run, and saw him lying there," explains Junior's mom, La'Kisha."There were four emergency services working on him, and he wasn't responding, he wasn't breathing, he wasn't moving, he was just lying there," explains La'Kisha.
