Jamie Bright was 18 when he died of a gunshot wound on July 15, 2018, on Clanton Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. A member of Harding University High School’s 2017 state championship football team, Bright was found by officers in the early morning and pronounced dead at the scene by Medic.

Investigators say Bright was shot by his friend Jermarion Worthy, 17. The two had been smoking marijuana and handling a gun when Worthy reported hearing noises outside the apartment, panicking, and firing the weapon. Worthy remained at the scene and was arrested and charged with second-degree murder; he later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and felony obstruction of justice and received a 22 to 46 month prison sentence. Bright’s mother, Lakeker Bright, did not attend the hearings because she was unhappy that Worthy was allowed to plead to lesser charges.
