NORTH HOLLYWOOD - A 16-year-old Sun Valley boy who played football for John Francis Polytechnic High School was killed behind a North Hollywood restaurant, police said today, the second Poly High football player shot to death in two months.

Edward Satterstrom was walking near Laurel Canyon and Roscoe boulevards about 9 p.m. Saturday when he was confronted by a gunman, police said. Witnesses told detectives the man pulled out a gun and fired several shots, hitting Edward in the upper torso.

After being shot, Edward staggered to a nearby Taco Bell, where he collapsed. He was taken to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, where he died.

Edward's mother, who did not want her name used, described her son as a driven athlete who always thought of others first.

"He was such a good kid. He took care of his six brothers and sisters like a father," she said, pausing several times to compose herself. "They all adored him and looked up to him so much. He was a parent figure in their lives."

After high school, Edward had his sights set on playing football for the University of Southern California, said his girlfriend, Veronica, 15, who declined to give her last name.

"He wanted to be a Trojan," she said as she fought back tears. "His room is covered in USC posters. ... He wanted to go to school there more than anything."

If he wasn't on the football field or in the classroom, chances are he was looking after his family, she added.

"When his grandmother got sick he was the one taking care of her," she said. "He was so good to his family, he cared so much about everyone in his life. I'm still in shock. I have known Eddie forever. I just can't believe he's gone."

Outside of the restaurant today where he was shot, drops of dried blood lined the sidewalk.

"This is terrible. I'm disgusted. You would think someone would come clean this up," said Scott Curtis, 32, as he pushed his 9-month-old son in a stroller. "I walk this street with my son every day and it's so surprising that a shooting like this happened here.

"This used to be a safe neighborhood, but now I find myself worrying about the safety of my own family."

Curtis said he plans on moving from the area.

"I grew up in the Valley and I love it here, but this type of stuff makes me realize that it just doesn't make sense for my family to be here," he said.

Police are searching for a Latino juvenile with slicked-back hair, wearing a black shirt and gray pants at the time of the shooting.

This marks the second time in just over two months that a Poly High football player has been shot to death.

On May 31, Jesus Florian, 17, was killed after confronting gang members who were trying to crash a Sun Valley party. Known as Chimpo, he was not a gang member.

Too many fuckin wanna-be bangers out here.

This is why I went to highschool in SUn Valley for a week, said fuck it, and headed out to Burbank. It's better dealing with wanna-be surfers rockin Hollister and Volcom instead of wanna-be crips/bloods.
