INDIANAPOLIS -- Graduating seniors at Warren Central High School paid tribute to one of their classmates who lost his life in a shooting earlier this month. 

Students donned their caps and gowns and gathered on the school's football field to form a large number "3" in honor of Dijon Anderson. 

Anderson died last week after being shot on May 6. He was one of two Warren Central students killed in the shooting near 38th Street and Moller Road. Angel Mejia-Alfaro, 17, died at the scene. 

Anderson was a free safety and wide receiver on the Warrior's football team. His funeral was held Wednesday. 

"Remember #3 is a movement," Warren Central Athletics wrote in a tweet with the photo of the students.
