Dont know for a fact, but a lot of ppl in the WG area were talking about it over the weekend. Like I said, im pretty sure its him in the pic. I would hate to be wrong on something like this, but the kid has appeared in a lot of the photos hes posted when talking about his friend who died.

Thanks, I certainly feel for the family and friends. I can't think of many things worse than losing a son/brother/friend at such a young age especially if this is the individual involved in the accidental shooting from the weekend.

Pistol Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 My guess is that wgstl is correct, that the new profile photo is more of a tribute to his friend than anything else. I can't imagine going through that, especially at his age. I hope CG is getting all the support he needs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 104% not OK with America being hundreds of times more prone to gun-related deaths than every other civilized country. Especially young brothers. Peace to Carte'are and his friends' family.

Carte'are Gordon could have star potential in St. Louis and not just for his basketball ability. Just from the photos, his postings, and what I hear on this board (yes, limited knowledge), his attitude appears top notch and I think fans are going to love him. He has an infectious smile, and in my mind, he is the best recruit that Ford has obtained thus far. It is horrible that he lost his friend over the weekend. These are kids. It's just crazy.

Saw this article about the accidental gun death of a 17-year-old in U-City. It was Saturday afternoon; CG's tweet from Sunday morning says "last night" is when he lost his friend. I'm guessing this the same incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 So I read an article about a 17-year-old being killed and he might not have been the only one in the area on Saturday? Wow.

Regardless, way too much, and horrible to see it impact a player like this. I remember when Reggie Bryant's brother was killed. It's hard to find any words for someone close to a young shooting victim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the guy on the left is Coleman. Still sucks. at least him updating the photo has to do with slu directly, and not indirectly due to his friend:/?

My original post was because I was thinking his profile pic change had something to do with his friend. billiken4 said, it wasnt his friend in the pic. sucks nonetheless for the kid, brutal age to lose a close friend.
