Johntay Gowdie was a 15 year old freshman football player at Titusville High School in Florida.
He was accidentally shot and killed by another 15 year old boy that was carelessly playing with a loaded handgun. Johntay was airlifted to the hospital, but would later die of his head wounds.
The boy that accidentaly shot him is in the juvenile detention center and may be facing manslaughter charges. Just one moment of poor judgement that will permanently alter many lives.
Johntay Gowdie was an outstanding football player who was already accomplished as a rising star before he ever got to high school.
