CLEVELAND - A player on Benedictine High School's state championship football team was found dead on a city street, police said.

Lorenzo Hunter, 16, died from wounds to his chest, left arm and hip, Cuyahoga County Coroner Elizabeth Balraj said. He was about two miles from home when he was shot about 2 a.m. Friday. Police have not made an arrest and have no suspects.

Hunter, a sophomore, played in Benedictine's 12-0 victory over Kenton for the Division III state crown on Nov. 28 at Fawcett Stadium in Canton.

Coach Art Bortnick said everyone affiliated with the parochial boys school and its football program is devastated.

''A lot of us can't comprehend what happened,'' Bortnick said. ''Lorenzo was a quiet but well-rounded kid with good grades. He'd go out of his way to say hello to you, you could establish a rapport with him, and I never saw a negative side of him.''

Hunter was a 6-foot-4, 185-pound wide receiver and safety.

''Lorenzo could run like a deer. He was going to be a major force for our football team the next two years. He had such a promising future,'' Bortnick said.

Hunter's family gathered Friday a few blocks from the school, in the house where he had lived. Neighbors started a memorial of balloons, flowers and teddy bears in front of the house.
