ST. LOUIS — The high school hockey player wounded in a highway shooting over the weekend died from his injuries Wednesday afternoon, police said in a press conference.

Colin Brown, 16, was struck by stray gunfire Saturday night while riding home from a hockey game on northbound Interstate 55 near Loughborough. He died Wednesday afternoon, police department spokesman Mitch McCoy said in the press conference.

McCoy said Colin was able to make a final impact Wednesday.

“Colin, a beloved and talented hockey player passed away, but not before giving the ultimate gift of life. Earlier today, Colin’s organs were donated to other patients who were in desperate need. This donation is an example of the type of young man Colin was and the kind of family he grew up in.”
