The tragic death of Suhail Gillard at the hand of his brother, Fayaadh Gillard, has rocked a Philadelphia community that is struggling to come to grips with the full scope of the tragic death.
An unspeakable tragedy unfolded in Philadelphia on Sunday when one Mastery Charter High School football star was shot dead by a teammate who also happened to be his brother.
Indeed, fellow members of the Mastery Charter football team intimidated that the shooting had to have been an accident, with the team and broader school community rallying around Fayaadh Gillard in support of him as he grieves the death of his twin and his own role in it.
