‘Look What I Can Do’ | Mother Wants To Know What Really Happened To Teen Prep Basketball Star Kavion Brown Godfrey Whose Body Was Found In East River

The body of Lower East Side Preparatory High School basketball player, Kavion Brown Godfrey, was discovered on Friday Oct. 27, according to reports. Brown went missing on Friday Oct. 20, and his family believe he was dared into jumping into the body of water. His family identified the body and funeral arrangements are being planned.

Where Was Kavion Supposed To Be When He Entered The East River?

On the day of his disappearance, Godfrey’s parents said, a man who identified himself as a coach asked for permission to bring their son to a Lower East Side Prep soccer game. Somehow Kavion ended up at the river with other kids.

Brown allegedly entered into the water off East River Park in the East Village neighborhood in Manhattan just after 4 p.m. local time on Oct. 20. His family and local police say they believe he was dared to get into the water.

An NYPD spokesperson previously told news outlets that Kavion said, “Look what I can do,” to his friends when he went into the river. He was then swept away by a current, according to police.

The Godfrey’s lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein said the family is looking for answers from the New York City Department of Education.

Whose Fault?

“The first question this family wants an answer to is, was there a responsibility on the Department of Education which was breached?”

This is a tragic story and one with a lot of questions. Presumably if a coach called or showed up at the Godfrey’s home, it would be easy to figure out who he is and get more details about the game he was taking them to, and why those kids never made it there.

Was there negligence on the part of the alleged coach?

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
