[gh]

But I don't have a good enough source yet to name names so you'll just have be be pissed at me for being a tease .

Reportedly leaving a club in a major city last night.

How about the former star athlete (not T&F) who was found not breathing after an apparent overdose of sleeping pills. Oxygen was administered--he was taken to the hospital and released the same day.

This one does have a good enough source, I think.

My source says the young man was shot twice. One bullet was in his hamstring and they had to remove some tissue. He is out for another season, and this looks like a career ender. A career that never started.
He was out with friends at a 18and older club.
That is all the info I have heard on him to date.
I hope the grazing story was more accurate but I am not hopeful

Fastest (45.54), smoothest, most relaxed HS 400 guy I ever saw in person. Good luck, guy.

• USC sprinter Bryshon Nellum, the 2007 Gatorade national Boys' Track and Field Athlete of the Year, was shot in the legs three times Friday morning during a Halloween party, according to police.
  
  Nellum, a freshman, was shot in the left thigh and right hamstring and underwent surgery Friday night at California Hospital Medical Center in Los Angeles.
  
  Two bullets hit Nellum's thigh and one hit his hamstring. Doctors said surgery was successful and were hopeful Nellum could resume his track career, according to USC track coach Ron Allice. (more)

grapevine says it was a targeted shooting after an earlier verbal dustup

that he was shot 2 times in the thigh and once in the hamstring, the shooter may have been trying to end his track career, but not kill him.

too many wrong people with guns.

i hope nellums is allright.

Maybe kids from Long Beach high schools just shouldn't be out when Halloween rolls around!

excellent news about january.

something is wrong with the kids today. why would you shoot someone in the legs knowing that is their gift. punks.

Police: Why did you shoot him?
Shooter: He disrespected me!
Police: How?
Shooter: He looked at me and I asked what he was looking at and he started mouthing off. I cant let him diss me in front of my boys. So afterwards we caught him out and i shot him! teach him to keep his mouth closed!

Pathetic
