Loved ones gathered in Pelham Bay Park Sunday to play a football game in honor of a 16-year-old high schooler who fatally shot in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

The friends and family of Tyson “TJ” Harps honored his love of football by holding a Turkey Bowl Championship game.<\/p>\n

“I’m here because this was his legacy, and if he was here, he would be here,” said Harps mother, Ms. Harps.<\/p>\n

The suspect<\/a> was last seen wearing a hat, gray hooded sweatshirt, black jacket, gray sweatpants and black sneakers.<\/p>\n

Michael Hendricks Sr., a coach at the Bronx Justice League, said the tribute will honor the linebacker’s jersey number 15.<\/p>\n

“We want to send No. 15 out in style. And we know 15 is on the sideline with us now,” he said.<\/p>\n

Police ask anyone with information about the shooting to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Loved ones gathered in Pelham Bay Park Sunday to play a football game in honor of a 16-year-old…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34432,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[128,98,100,99,102,2464,786,11979,2640,745,16523,20455,9,24,63,103,14750,6399,1954,12413,12412,129],"class_list":{"0":"post-34431","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-bronx","9":"tag-brooklyn","10":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","11":"tag-brooklyn-news","12":"tag-crown-heights","13":"tag-deadly-shooting","14":"tag-fatal-shooting","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-high-school-football","17":"tag-investigation","18":"tag-memorial","19":"tag-memorials","20":"tag-new-york","21":"tag-new-york-city","22":"tag-nyc","23":"tag-nypd","24":"tag-pelham-bay-park","25":"tag-police-investigation","26":"tag-surveillance-video","27":"tag-teen","28":"tag-teenager","29":"tag-the-bronx"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34431\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
