Norvell Meadows, an All-City high school basketball player at Orr and Prosser, was shot and killed on the West Side on Thursday.
Meadows, 19, was shot once in the chest according to two of his former coaches. He was taken to Stroger Hospital and died on Thursday night.
Meadows was one of the city’s most promising guards during his first two years of high school at Prosser. He transferred to Orr his junior year after Prosser was relegated to the less prestigious White Division."He was like a big brother to my daughters," Robinson said. "I don’t even want to tell them what happened.
The Spartans only played a handful of games due to COVID during Meadows’ senior year and there were no state playoffs that season.
