Zachary Winston, an Albion College student and basketball player and University of Detroit Jesuit High alum, died Saturday night.
Winston, the younger brother of Michigan State basketball All-American Cassius Winston, was struck and killed by an Amtrak train in Albion.
“I’m just sick,” longtime U-D Jesuit basketball coach Pat Donnelly told the Free Press. “It’s just devastating. The nicest kid. I’m not a real emotional guy, but at 5 o’clock this morning, I just broke down in tears."
Albion Public Safety chief Scott Kipp told the Battle Creek Enquirer that Zachary Winston intentionally stepped in front of the train, according to his department’s interview with the engineer and based on further police investigation.
