Wayne Ellington proudly and painfully brings anti-violence message

Posted Oct 4, 2016
Wayne Ellington is standing in a room filled with hundreds of high school students, all of them silent and hanging on every word that the new Miami Heat guard is saying. He's not there to tell basketball stories. He's there to talk about his father — a victim of gun violence not even two years ago. "Still grieving and it's still fresh," Ellington said.
