Chiefs DE Frank Clark to cover funeral costs, wear jersey honoring slain 4-year-old

Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark is doing something incredible for a family in mourning.

According to KSHB-TV news reporter McKenzie Nelson, Clark intends to cover funeral costs for LeGend Taliferro, a 4-year-old boy who was killed as he slept on Monday after someone fired shots into an apartment. Taliferro’s funeral is set for July 10.

Clark also intends to honor Taliferro in the Chiefs’ Week 1 matchup against the Houston Texans, wearing a jersey that features his name. On Thursday, Clark took to Twitter to denounce gun violence and call for the Kansas City community to support Taliffero’s mother, Charron Powell, during this difficult time.

RIP young LeGend Taliferro. Crazy In the midst of a movement we still manage to do foolish things. He was killed as he slept in his home due to gun violence. His mother, Charron Powell needs us. Let his name be heard. ♥️🙏🏿 pic.twitter.com/x7nuk4cD8D
