In June, Armstrong turned 17 years old and he was on the path to graduate in 2021. His family says he went on a tour of historically Black colleges and universities and dreamed of a bright future Armstrong played football, basketball and ran track. His dad says his son was his best friend.
“The best memory I got is watching him play football, knowing I’m not going to see him play football again is the most hurtful thing,” he said.
