LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — It's been three months since Garrett Meriwether was killed by a speeding teenage driver who admitted to drinking before the crash.
Garrett's father, retired metropolitan sergeant Steven Meriwether and his family are trying to make something positive out of a heart breaking loss.
On Sunday, family, friends and the community will gather at Kellogg-Zaher Sports Park for the first 5k/1 Mile walk to raise funds for scholarships in honor of Garrett.

Garrett graduated from PVHS in 2018 and had just finished his Freshman year at UNLV.
