Ryan McDonald Knoxville – Knoxville high school sophomore Ryan McDonald was killed by 15-year old Jamar Siler in the school cafeteria without warning.
Pics and video blow of the Ryan McDonald Knoxville shooting death shocked his friends who said the sophmore adopted a tough exterior as a result of teasing about his total baldness due to alopecia.
Ryan lived with his grandmother, said his uncle Roger McDonald, “He tried to have a tough exterior, like a shield, to fit in. He was a good kid … who was dealt some bad cards in life.”
15-year old Jamar Siler was arrested six blocks from the school by Knoxville, TN police for the murder of Ryan McDonald as Siler walked home still carrying the murder weapon.
Knoxville Police have also been looking for his sister Ciara Siler since August 2, for allegedly shooting and killing Jerri Lynn Goodman outside a Knoxville housing project.
According to eyewitnesses, Ryan McDonald was shot in the chest while sitting in the cafeteria before school started.
Chad Griffin, 15, and Josh Matthews, 14, said they were sitting a few feet away from McDonald when they heard a sharp noise.
“He got shot and started walking and he was holding his chest. There was blood everywhere. And then he fell and his arm hit me,” he said.
Knoxville, TN Chief Deputy Roehl said, “This wasn’t a shooting that was a random act.. It was an individual directing his aggression toward another individual, not the school or the students inside the school.”
Jamar Siler will be charged in juvenile court in McDonald’s murder.
and that’s the latest news on the school shooting death of Ryan McDonald in Knoxville.

I think that what we need to remember is that this situation escalated to a point that it shouldn’t have. I’m not willing to believe that this happened in a course of a couple of days. They had to have a rivalry of sorts, which resulted in verbal assaults on both parts, and it got to this point unfortunately. We need to remember that both lives here are ruined. I don’t justify the murder, because nothing justifies depriving someone of their own life, but we need to remember that both lives are ruined. I believe that Jamar Siler needs some counseling, and that when the professional deems that he is capable of integrating himself back into society, a legal procedure could initiate, and that and only that would be the determining factor in whether or not he is liberated. Nonetheless, it’s important to remember that both boys were overwhelmed with emotions. Like I said, I can’t justify murder, and I’m by no means attempting to do so. I’m simply saying that I’m not in favor of “throwing away the key” for a kid who’s already regretting what he’s done. A professional is the only one who can determine whether or not he’s ready to integrate himself back into society.
