Coconut Creek police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred Tuesday night in the Coco Parc community.
On Wednesday, Local 10 News spoke with Delvin King, who is the principal of Youth Under Construction -- a sixth to 12th grade school for at risk students.
He confirmed that his former student, Brice McFadden, was shot and killed outside his home in the 900 block of Lyons Road.
"He was at the top of his class and he was just here, I wanna say a couple of weeks ago, trying to pick up his transcript because he just got approved to attend Atlantic Technical College," King said.
Police have released very little information about the killing, but King says there is heartache at the school.
