Kayson Toliver
Age 18
Nuyaka, Oklahoma
College was just on the horizon
With 580 yards and five touchdowns, he was a star running back for the Beggs Golden Demons football team. His #27 jersey left the away-team trailing behind him.
When he wasn't playing football, he was outdoors, fishing and swimming. He planned to play football in college, major in architecture and volunteer to fight fires.
His friend Eddieson Baldridge was sleeping over that night. Kayson Toliver, 18, was shot by his mother while sleeping in his room in Okmulgee County, Oklahoma, early Thursday morning on Nov. 1, 2018.
