PHILADELPHIA - A sea of family, friends and former teammates of 19-year-old Ross Carter marched from his home to the place where someone took his life.
They carried a banner displaying his Simon Gratz Bulldogs jersey number where he played ball and graduated last June. "When I say Ross you say Ross,” the crowd chanted.
His mother Ebony Brown led the march arriving to hundreds of people already there for her son. "I'm humbled. Just to know that my son was loved," she said.
Ross is remembered by most who spoke as fun-loving and always happy. "He always got in trouble for playing too much, class clown and he wanted to see everybody happy," said Brown.
