Los Angeles Lakers great Shaquille O’Neal has had his name in the news a lot recently, largely due to the tragic death of Kobe Bryant.
However, he now finds himself in the spotlight as he helps a family in need, helping a family with the death of 18-year old Dexter Rentz, a Louisville signee who died on Saturday in a drive by shooting.
Rentz was a student at Ocoee High School in Ocoee, Fla., located just outside of Orlando. O’Neal, who currently resides in Orlando, heard the news of an innocent 18-year-old life being lost and decided to do whatever he could to help.
