HS basketball star Noah Scurry dead at age 17, shot outside home

Noah Scharrel – a high school basketball star in Pennsylvania – tragically died this week after being shot just steps from his home.

Philadelphia police said the fatal shooting happened around 7:15 a.m. Tuesday … revealing that Scurry was on his way to Samuel Fels High School when he was shot.

He was only 17 years old.

A motive for the shooting is not yet known. Authorities say an investigation into the incident is underway.

“No arrests have been made,” the PPD said, “and no weapon has been recovered.”

Scurry was a senior at Samuel Fels HS… and a captain of the boys basketball team. According to his cousin, Breanna McGlynnhe was recruited by colleges.

This week’s Panthers games have been canceled due to his death.

SFHS Principal Melissa Rasper said in a statement Tuesday that Scurry was more than just a talented basketball player … he recently earned the highest SAT scores at the school.

“Our deepest condolences and thoughts go out to the family and friends of this student,” she said.

A GoFundMe was established to help Scurry’s family with funeral expenses.
