Father Was Found Guilty of Shooting a Volunteer Football Coach

A crazy Missouri father shot a volunteer youth football coach in the back. Shaquille Latimore, 34, was shot five times by Daryl Clemmons, 45, at a St. Louis practice field as a group of the team’s 9 and 10-year-old players “were playing nearby,” according to the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office.

According to the authorities, he became enraged at “the amount of playing time Clemmons’ son had been getting” and attacked the St. Louis BadBoyz coach.

When Clemmons and Latimore began battling on October 10, 2023, they were both armed. However, according to the prosecution, “Clemmons shot Latimore five times and rejected that idea.”

At the time, Latimore, who is since fully healed from his injuries, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: “I didn’t see his gun until it was already too late,” “I ran, and he shot me in the back. I fell, and he shot me a couple more times.”

Before other adults got in, Clemmons, who had previously coached the same team before Latimore joined, allegedly ridiculed him while he was on the ground.

Latimore remembered: “After he shot me, he was like … ‘I told you I was going to pop your a–,’”

Despite running away from the practice field, the father turned himself in that evening. According to a probable cause statement from the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office, Latimore informed police that Clemmons was “upset with him for not starting his son.”

Clemmons will be punished on March 13 after being convicted guilty of assault and armed criminal conduct.
