Stoneman Douglas Shooting Victim Buried in Dwyane Wade Jersey

Dwyane Wade was moved when he heard a victim of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting was buried in his jersey.

17-year-old Joaquin Oliver was one of the 17 victims of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting on Feb 14 and was buried in a Miami Heat Dwyane Wade Jersey, his parents reportedly announced on Univision.

Wade saw a tweet and responded with "You're about to make me cry this afternoon."

“This is why we will not just SHUT up and dribble!” Wade added in a later tweet. 

This is Joaquin Oliver. He was one of the 17 young lives that were lost tragically at Douglas HighSchool in Parkland. Joaquin was one of many that i heard was excited about my return to Miami and yesterday was buried in my jersey. This is why we will not just SHUT up and dribble! pic.twitter.com/X0tfTTao33

“It’s emotional even thinking about that, that his parents even thought burying him in my jersey was something that he wanted,” Wade told reporters on Monday.

On Saturday, the Heat played their first home game since the shooting and paid a moment of silence and tribute video for the victims before playing the Memphis Grizzlies. Players and coaches held a Stoneman Douglas Eagles flag at mid-court.
