Teen social media dispute ends in fatal stabbing.

Other family members said Rashawn was on a near-full scholarship to Sacred Heart after attending middle school at Buena Vista Horace Mann in the Mission, and had his eye on attending an Ivy League college.

"His smile would brighten up anybody's day," Jamar said.

Sacred Heart's head football coach, Ken Peralta, said in a Facebook post that Rashawn was a 4.0 student who was fluent in Spanish and was a "wonderful young man."

"Seems that another young man had issues with him over social media issues and was threatening him," Peralta wrote. "The two crossed paths and with his little brother in hand, Rashawn was knifed in the heart."

Efforts to reach Peralta were unsuccessful. But Rashawn's aunt, Maria MacMurray, also said social media may have played a role in the killing, though she did not give details.

"He was such a humble kid," MacMurray said. "He was so good-hearted. His dream was to go to Harvard. This is a tragedy."
