Missouri Father Found Guilty of Shooting Son’s Youth Football Coach Over Playing Time Dispute

Guilty of Shooting Son’s Youth Football Coach Over Playing Time Dispute

In a deeply troubling incident that has sent shockwaves throughout Missouri, a 45-year-old man named Arthur D. Clemmons was found guilty of shooting his son’s youth football coach, Shaquille S. Latimore, aged 34. This violent act unfolded in front of a group of children aged 9 and 10 during a practice session, highlighting the severe repercussions of conflicts that escalate into violence, especially in environments designed to foster teamwork and respect.
Clemmons faced charges of assault and armed criminal action following the shooting that occurred on October 10, 2023, near the practice field. He was apprehended shortly after the event. The confrontation between Clemmons and Latimore arose from disagreements regarding the playing time allotted to Clemmons’ son, which ultimately culminated in the tragic incident. Reports indicate that both individuals were armed during the practice; however, Latimore sought to defuse the situation by surrendering his weapon to a friend and proposing to resolve their differences physically without firearms. Clemmons rejected this approach and proceeded to shoot Latimore five times before fleeing the scene.

This act of violence transpired in close proximity to the young athletes, exposing them to a profoundly distressing experience. Following the incident, Clemmons turned himself in to law enforcement. During his trial, he claimed self-defense, asserting that Latimore had allegedly provoked him while brandishing a gun and pursuing him aggressively near the practice area. Nonetheless, this defense did not convince the jury, leading to Clemmons’ conviction on all charges.

Sentencing for Clemmons is scheduled for March 13, 2025. The prosecution intends to seek the maximum penalty of 13 years, reflecting the gravity of the offense and its broader impact on the community. Circuit Attorney G. Gore issued a powerful statement regarding the case, declaring that “violence, particularly within youth sports contexts, is entirely intolerable and undermines the fundamental objectives of these programs—instilling values of teamwork, discipline, and respect.” He further remarked on the potentially fatal consequences of such encounters and expressed concern over the lasting trauma inflicted on the children and families present at the scene.

This unfortunate event has ignited a nationwide conversation about safety protocols and appropriate conduct at youth sporting events. The involvement of firearms and the escalation of parental disputes into violent confrontations are pressing issues that communities must now address with greater urgency. As Clemmons awaits his sentencing, society at large is prompted to reflect on the necessary measures to prevent similar incidents in the future, with hopes that this case serves as a poignant reminder of the essential need for a peaceful and supportive atmosphere in all youth-related activities.
