Former Wheeling Park High School student-athlete Donnie Evans Jr. was shot and killed during a large fight at an apartment complex in south Fort Worth, Texas on Sunday.

Evans, 19, a native of Texas, spent the remainder of his junior year and completed his senior year at Park in 2018.

He attended Wheeling Park when his father moved to the Wheeling area to work in the gas and oil industry. Evans moved back to Texas to attend college. He was a freshman at Tyler Junior College in Texas.

At Wheeling Park, he played football, rushing for more than 1,000 yards in 2017. Evans also led the team in scoring during the 2017 football season with 19 touchdowns. He rushed for 1,065 yards for the Patriots with 17 rushing touchdowns. Evans made the roster for second team all-state.

Funeral arrangements have not been announced.
