A crazed Missouri dad has been convicted of shooting a volunteer youth football coach in the back for not giving his young son enough playing time.

Daryl Clemmons, 45, shot married father of five Shaquille Latimore, 34, five times near a practice field in St Louis — as a group of 9- and 10-year-old kids on the team “were playing nearby,” the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office said.

He targeted the St. Louis BadBoyz coach in a rage at “the amount of playing time Clemmons’ son had been getting,” the prosecutors said.

Clemmons and Latimore were both armed when they started fighting on Oct. 10, 2023 — with the coach handing off his weapon to a friend, telling the dad he was ready for a fist fight.

But “Clemmons rejected that idea and shot Latimore five times,” prosecutors said.

“I didn’t see his gun until it was already too late,” Latimore, who has since recovered from his injuries, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch at the time. “I ran, and he shot me in the back. I fell, and he shot me a couple more times.”

Clemmons, who used to coach the same team before Latimore came on board, allegedly taunted him while he was on the ground before other adults jumped in.

“After he shot me, he was like … ‘I told you I was going to pop your a–,’” Latimore recalled.

The dad fled the practice field but handed himself in that night.

Latimore told authorities that Clemmons was “upset with him for not starting his son,” according to a probable cause statement provided by the St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s Office.

Clemmons was found guilty of assault and armed criminal action and is scheduled to be sentenced on March 13.

“Violence, especially in youth sports, is completely unacceptable and undermines the purpose of these programs – teaching teamwork, discipline, and respect,” said Circuit Attorney Gabe Gore.

“This could easily have been a lethal encounter for the coach as well as for the children and family members present. Unfortunately, the trauma of this event will not be easily forgotten by all those who witnessed it.”

The victim’s mother, SeMiko Latimore, called the shooting “senseless.”

“We’re supposed to be bringing these kids off the streets and teaching them what to do, what not to do. We’ve got all these kids traumatized because their coach was shot in front of them,” she told the newspaper.

“He could have easily hit one of those children.”
