As the Czar said on the morning show, "this one is going to break your heart".
From the Czar:
“young black man from Westfield High School headed off to the Naval Academy to play football...going to one of the finest institutions our country has ever produced.
I mean, this is the American dream and there’s his mother who was the president of the booster club of the football team at Westfield High School...Can you imagine how proud Michelle Cummings and her husband were to be at the Naval Academy...they are soaking up the pride they have in their son and she’s shot & killed by some random thug”.
“Police say Michelle was sitting on a patio at the Graduate Annapolis hotel early Tuesday when she was shot more than once. They don’t believe she was the intended victim and said the gunfire came from a nearby street.
No arrests have been made...
Leonard Cummings III, a Westfield High School graduate, signed with Navy to play football back in February of 2020.
“He has done well, and they have helped make him bigger, faster, and stronger,” Michelle said on National Signing Day. “His position coaches are wonderful, and they love and care about him. They have helped make him the man that he is today.”
Spring ISD released the following statement Tuesday evening:
"We are devastated to hear about the passing of Michelle Cummings. Ms. Cummings was a very engaged parent at Westfield High School where her son Leonard “Trey” Cummings III graduated in 2020. She served in 2019-20 as the president of the Westfield High School Football Booster Club and was always ready to support our student athletes. Our hearts and prayers go out to the Cummings family during this time of sorrow."
