“It really took a toll on me because he was someone I was with every day. He was like a brother to me,” Maggett said of the Oct. 29, 2017 shooting death of her close friend, Shaft Wilson, 19, in Chicago.
“He was at a Halloween party and an argument broke out. There were over 100 gunshots fired, and he just happened to be the one that got hit.”
Maggett, an Illinois State women’s basketball player from North Chicago whose last name is pronounced MAJ-it, had already dealt with her share of adversity before Wilson’s death.
