“Rashard was a standout scholar and student-athlete with a bright future ahead of him,” Anthony Kirchner, a spokesperson for the Crowley school district, said.
“Crisis response teams are in place to provide support to students and staff who are grieving, and we urge anyone with information about Rashard’s death to contact the Fort Worth Police Department,” Kirchner said.

“The Wildcat Track and Field program is devastated to learn of the passing of Rashard Guinyard,” ACU’s track and field team tweeted. “A sprints recruit from Crowley High School, Guinyard had signed with ACUTF to join our team this Fall.”
Hundreds mourned the teenager’s passing on social media.
“I don’t know where to start. He just committed, and I was ready to run my first year on my new AAU summer track team with him,” Elijah McKinney, a track teammate, said. “It just makes me upset because he was a good person, and he motivated me every time I practiced against him.”
Guinyard will be remembered as “the life of the party” and “generous.” Prayers for the Guinyard family.
