Meanwhile, a GoFundMe fundraising page has been created by Christopher’s football coach to help support his family. An extract from the page reads, “Christopher Redding was a dedicated athlete of the Fastbreak flag football, John F Kennedy tackle football, and formerly played for the Bronx Colts and LBX teams. I had the privilege of coaching him for several years. Over time, I watched Christopher grow and make positive changes in his life, focusing on both his education and his passion for football. He dreamed of becoming a football player one day, and his commitment to his goals inspired everyone around him.”

 

It continues, “Tragically, Christopher’s dreams were taken from him on Wednesday, February 11, 2026. In his final moments, Christopher was defending his friends who were being targeted by a group of individuals who then opened fire on them in the Bronx. His last act on earth was one of courage and selflessness, protecting those he cared about. The loss of Christopher has deeply affected his family, his teammates, and the entire community. He is survived by his mother, Shampagne Christian, his father, Bryan Corley, and his siblings, who are now facing unimaginable grief and hardship.”

 

The extract concludes, “As his football coach, we are raising funds to help Christopher’s family with funeral costs, provide support as they take time off work to grieve, and assist his mother in finding resources to seek justice for her son. With your donations, we can help send off an incredible young man in a beautiful way and help his family find resources to help them through this difficult time.”‘

 

A vigil in Christopher’s memory was held in Kingsbridge at the site where he was killed on Wednesday, Feb. 18, one week after his death. More to follow.
