19-year-old Dikes Yang, a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School and a rising football star, was fatally wounded while playing Russian roulette.
The tragedy occurred on the night of 14 October in the house of one of the friends of the young 20 — year-old Morton Newman. Along with 19-year-old Nasir Mason, they decided to tickle your nerves with a game of Russian roulette. The boys took turns holding a loaded gun to his head and pulled the trigger.
First tried his luck Newman. He pulled the RAM and pulled the trigger — the gun didn’t work. The guy handed the gun to Mason — he was also lucky. Next in line was young. This time the bullet was in the chamber and the gun fired.
A guy came in with a wound to the head at Cooper University Hospital, where he died. Newman and Mason were arrested at the scene.
