Aid Kentrell: Young Athlete Shot 12 Times

Help Support Kentrell Collier's Fight for Recovery

On December 9, 2024, a night that should have been filled with joy and celebration, instead turned into a heartbreaking tragedy for 14-year-old Kentrell Collier from Omaha, Nebraska. Just hours after playing in one of his first high school holiday basketball games—where he set a personal record for points scored—Kentrell's life was forever changed.

While taking a walk through his neighborhood, full of hope and excitement for his budding athletic career, Kentrell was senselessly gunned down. He suffered 12 gunshot wounds, including two to the chest and multiple shots that shattered the length of his leg, destroying his femur. What should have been the beginning of a promising future was replaced with unimaginable pain and uncertainty.
