Tommy Grays III was shot and killed
Authorities have said what sparked the deadly argument. The slain teen’s father, also named Tommy Grays, said the issue was resolved when the shooter grabbed the gun from him.
“My son had actually prevented the situation from happening. He then walked back to the beach and was in the water with his stepdad when the guy came running back and was shooting at them,” Grays told NBC 4. The grieving father said that the people on the island were unfairly making his son the aggressor in the situation.
“My son was an innocent child without a single violent bone in his body. He had never been in a physical fight a day in his life and lost his life and it is said that he was being violent. It doesn’t make sense,” he added. The tragic teen was a rising 12th grader at James Hubert Blake High School in Montgomery, Maryland.
