Grief counselors were on hand at the high school Monday to assist students and staff members in dealing with the loss of their 17-year-old classmate, student and friend.
Springfield Police Chief Stephen Moody said Wellington was trying to resolve a dispute between several people when he was fatally shot.
Wellington was a star running back for the Springfield Wildcats and many expected him to play at the collegiate level.
More details from the investigation were expected to be released in a press conference held Monday afternoon.
