Walter Roby, his head coach during Tamura's senior year, shared his insights on the former player. "Shane was very quiet. He was a quiet, hard worker. He was coachable. "Whatever we asked him to do, he did it," Roby told Matthew Seedorff. He led by example on the field. He was one of my top offensive players at the time."

Grappling with the news, Roby added, "Could I have done more? Could I help the kid? It's just a lot I'm trying to process right now."

The investigation is ongoing as authorities seek to understand the full circumstances surrounding this devastating event.
