15-year-old found shot to death in Clarksdale
SUMMARY: An investigation is underway after the body of a 15-year-old boy was found in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The teenager, Antonio Foster, was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds in a vacant field. Police had previously responded to a report of shots fired in the area the night before but found nothing. Foster was known to the police, who were shocked by his tragic death. There is a lack of positive activities for young people in the area, with no youth centers or basketball courts, leading to the concern that violence becomes an option. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
