St. Paul rec center shooting: Family identifies 16-year-old victim as JuVaughn Turner
ST. PAUL, Minn. – We're learning more about a teenage boy shot outside a St. Paul rec center last month.
Family says his name is JuVaughn Turner. Incredibly, the 16-year-old boy survived being shot in the head on Jan. 18, but he's just beginning a long recovery process.
The family says on the day of the shooting, Turner went to the Jimmy Lee Recreation Center to play basketball with his friends.
A 26-year-old employee at that rec center, Exavir Binford Jr., is charged with shooting the boy.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to help cover Turner's medical bills.
