Murdered Student To Receive Diploma Posthumously

While he won't be able to walk with his classmates, a murdered high school student will still be a part of tonight's graduation ceremony.

McKinley High School senior Bryant Lee was shot to death over the weekend at a graduation party on Sparrow Street.

A balloon-release ceremony was held in his honor Tuesday and Wednesday he'll receive his diploma posthumously.

Lee was planning to attend Southern University to study engineering.
