A verified fundraiser has been launched to help the family of Tuskegee University homecoming shooting victim La'Tavion Johnson cover expenses surrounding his death. Johnson, 18, was killed when shooting broke out in the early hours of Sunday morning during homecoming weekend. At least 16 were injured.

La’Tavion Johnson was a young man who lived for his family and friends. Only 18 years old, he was already set to begin a career next week with the Alabama Department of Transportation. That dream was stopped short in Sunday’s early morning hours when gunfire rang out at Tuskegee University amid the homecoming festivities.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, Tuskegee Police Officer Alan Ashley heard gunshots near on-campus apartments and ran toward the shooting, court documents reveal. What he found in the aftermath of the shooting was detailed in those records as part of a federal court case involving a man arrested at the scene.

La’Tavion Johnson's father made his way to his son, whose body was covered. “I saw his shoes, and that’s what made me realize it was him."
