The former Florida star’s mother told TMZ that her son died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital after being struck in the leg and chest. He was 41 years old.
There have been no known arrests made at this time.
This is obviously an incredibly tragic situation, and our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.
Men aren’t supposed to get gunned down. That’s just not how life is supposed to work. This is nothing short of a tragedy, and I have no doubt his entire family and friends are in a terrible place right now.
Hopefully, the police find the people responsible and justice is served.
