Another rising football star has been senselessly shot. Philadelphia's Curtis "Boonah" Brinkley was shot early this morning in Cheltenham Township. Brinkley, 23, was shot in his car near the intersection of Spring Avenue and Ashbourne Road, NBC Philadelphia has reported. He was reportedly shot multiple times by a gunman who was on foot. It is safe to say that the dirtbag who shot this young man probably has a long rap sheet and had no business being on the streets of Philadelphia or any other city or town for that matter.
Brinkley fled the scene to a "place of safety" police said and they took him to Albert Einstein Medical Center. Police say Brinkley was able to talk to them when they found him. The hospital says Brinkley is in fair, stable condition. The gunman ran to a nearby car and took off, according to police.
The San Diego Chargers signed Brinkley as a free agent this year. He was a standout running back at Syracuse and a star at West Catholic where he rushed for 7,429 yards and 85 touchdowns, breaking the Philadelphia prep school record previously held by NFL running back Kevin Jones, according to Philly.com. In his senior year at West Catholic he had a record-setting 2,813 yards. Source: NBC Philadelphia
Thankfully he was not murdered and was able to give relevant information to the police. I hope they will catch the perpetrator quickly.
