There were no Friday night lights, just an empty football field, at Roxborough High School in Philadelphia.
Outside the fences, a small crowd of people visited the growing memorial where just three days ago five teenagers were shot, one of them killed.
Nick Elizalde, 14, was fatally wounded in that shooting. He was a freshman at Saul High School but played football for Roxborough.Support is pouring in for his family and others whose trauma is still so raw and palpable. Nelson has been working with the families impacted by Tuesday's senseless shooting, providing financial assistance and therapy.
"They have seen so many of their friends lose their lives that this has somehow become the norm. So that happens as well, which is alarming for our young people," said Nelson.
