Answer: I take it that you are asking if in real life was Timo Cruz's cousin shot. The answer would be no because Timo Cruz is not a real person. While the film is (loosely) based on a true story, none of the players in the film (with the exception of Damien, Coach Carter's son) were real life students of Carter. The characters in the film were all composites of real life players. That being said, I don't know if there was a player on the team that had a cousin shot, certainly nothing prominent about it is reported. It's highly unlikely though as many of Carter's real life players dispute the negative portrayal of the personalities of the players and say the characters were falsely portrayed (along with facts like game scores and records). Darryl Robinson is quoted as saying "Hollywood missed it by a country mile. The kids buying drugs and shooting people, that never happened. The kids were a good group to begin with, there were no troublemakers, there was none of that."
