“There’s no words to explain what I’m feeling,” said Brian's mother Martha Caballero.
Caballero, a former Red Oak Varsity soccer player, had recently transferred out of the district, according to a district spokesperson. Extra counselors would be on hand to help students and staff.
“He loved playing soccer. Ever since he was a kid, he loved it,” said his father Dorian Caballer. “He was a wonderful kid. Always happy, making funny noises and funny faces.”
