Xzorian Gray was a gentle, respectful child, according to his family, who said he was rarely found without a wide grin across his face. Friends and family always called him "X," and he was reportedly never the type to seek out trouble, but he also was known to stand his ground. Xzorian was only 16 years old when he was shot and killed in his vehicle late Tuesday night.
Captain Jack Kennedy, the commander of the Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit, said that the shooting took place around 11 p.m. that night near the intersection of Fosters Ferry Road and 21st Street.
