Former Holy Cross football player Damion Baker was shot and killed at the age of 25
The Holy Cross football program is mourning the loss of one of its former graduates. Damion Baker their former starting cornerback, and recent graduate was shot and killed on July 4th.
Baker was killed in a double shooting early Sunday morning in St. Louis, his hometown. He was 25.
Fourth of July weekend was horrible this year and tragic in so many different cities. A former Boise State football player was also shot and killed on July 4th, then add in the shooting in Chicago and many people lost their lives this past Independence Day.
Baker played in 41 games and recorded 98 tackles, 15 pass breakups, and a pair of interceptions.
Please keep his family and friends in your prayers during this tough time. I wish this madness would stop. Too many young men are losing their lives.
