NBA player Wayne Ellington speaking at Peace Day Philly event
WAYNE ELLINGTON will return to the scene of the crime with a dream that, one day, such crimes will simply cease.
Ellington's father, Wayne Sr., was shot through the head while sitting in his car on the night of Nov. 9. He was 57.
Across the country Ellington was beginning his sixth NBA season, this one with the Lakers. Ellington learned of his father's death after the game. Carl White, 34, has been held for trial on murder and weapons charges; this has given Wayne Jr. little relief.
In the past 10 months he has wallowed in grief.
He has fumed in anger.
Now, he will act.
