Brunson was a student at Carver Vocational-Technical High School and became a serious boxer as classrooms shifted to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Baltimore Sun reported.
“He had Muhammad Ali on the wall and his boxing gloves still sitting on the bed,” his aunt, Jessica Heir told the newspaper. “He boxed. That’s what he did. He really loved it.”
In a tweet, Democratic State Sen. Jill P. Carter called Brunson a “math whiz and a chivalrous young man.”
“He was the life of the party,” she wrote.
