Charity Streetball Tourney Honors Murdered Teen, Raises Scholarship Funds
|
The unprovoked murder of an Atlanta teen just a few minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve has inspired the creation of a charity street basketball tour whose next stop is Mt. Zion High School in Jonesboro on January 30. Fourteen-year old Reuben Hand was on his way home with friends after watching the Peach Drop when he was attacked by a stranger at the Five Points Marta station. They argued over a cell phone. Police identified the man as Tommy Christopher Collins, and accused him of stabbing Reuben in the neck.
