Almost three months since the death of Stanley Freeman Jr., an Austin-East Magnet High School student who was gunned down in his car after classes ended, his family has an unambiguous message for school and city officials following the fatal shooting of Anthony Thompson Jr. by a police officer. Anthony wasn t the first student to be killed at Austin-East. Stanley was. He was shot while leaving the parking lot at school, said his grandmother Darlene Ngom. It is also their problem.
Several of Freeman s family members say his death at the hands of two teenage assailants, say police, who also think they mistook him for someone else should have been a wake-up call to those in charge of keeping kids safe.
