A Nashville high school student was killed in a drive-by shooting after watching a football game with his younger brother – and Clay Travis has since vowed he is tripling the reward to help catch the shooter.
Cameron Frierson, 16, was shot in front of his brother, Chris, late Friday night after watching a game at Pearl-Cohn High School – and a manhunt is now underway for his killer, WKRN reported.
Shots were fired from a white sedan with tinted windows, witnesses told authorities, with the motive behind the shooting still unknown.
Frierson, a Hunters Lane High School junior, was left with gunshot injuries, which he later died of, while Chris wasn’t injured.
Frierson’s mom, Brittany, believes her son was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“It wasn’t over a girl. This wasn’t over any money. This was strictly these kids looking to harm someone,” she told WZTV.
“And they thought that someone that they were looking for were my children, and it wasn’t… You don’t have a right to take no one’s life. You don’t get that right.”
Frierson was rushed to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center – around two miles from where he was found – and later died of his injuries.
“My greatest fear in life has come true,” Brittany said, lamenting her teen son’s death.
“Cameron was just doing what so many high school students do on a Friday night, enjoying a football game, and in an instant our lives changed forever,” she said.
“Cameron was a bright, beaming light in all of our lives, and this loss has left us heartbroken and struggling to understand how to move forward without him.
“Cameron was also a hardworking teenager who was trying to work two jobs so he could buy his own clothes for back to school.
“That was the kind of child he was, determined, responsible, and willing to work hard for what he needed.
“He had so much life ahead of him, and remembering the effort he was making for himself makes this loss even more painful for all of us who loved him.”
Cops continue to hunt for the shooter – and a $5,000 reward has been offered by the Uvalde Foundation for Kids, a charity founded in response to the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting that saw 19 students killed.
Nashville native Clay Travis, who attended the same game as Frierson, on Monday vowed to add another $15,000 to the reward pot.
“There’s a $5,000 reward right now. I will make that a $20,000 reward. I will add $15,000 to anyone who is able to bring this killer to justice who killed this 16-year-old boy,” he said on X.
“Turn yourself in, we beg you to turn yourself in,” Cameron’s dad, who is also named Chris, said in a direct message to the shooter.
