A mural of a former Texas high school football standout vandalized | Help a local artist restore it
Cristopher Guardado was shot and killed in an accidental shooting on Christmas back in 2020.
Guardado, also known as Choo, was a 16-year-old sophomore who played defensive tackle for Garland High School.
Officers reportedly responded to a shooting call around 6:44pm and found Guardado with a single gunshot wound to his back. The officers believed the shooting was completely accidental.
The sad thing is Guardado’s dream was to one day play in the NFL.
A mural was painted for the family and friends in Garland, Texas to remember him.
Well, that mural was vandalized and defaced and now the artist needs help to restore it. A GoFundMe was set up to help the artist.
