Twenty-year-old Fisk University basketball player Andre Bell was shot and killed while riding in a vehicle on a Nashville highway Sunday around 8 p.m.
The New York Post reported Bell was riding in a Nissan Sentra with two friends when a dark sedan came along beside them and shots were fired.
The two friends were trying to ascertain what was happening and realized Bell had been shot. At that point they slowed down and spun the Sentra around, only to “collide with a red truck.”
News Channel 5 Nashville pointed out that Bell was shot in the head. MSMV 4 noted that he was first reported as “critically wounded” before succumbing to his wounds.
Bell’s former teammate and team captain Michael Ashley said, “I couldn’t believe it. I was like, not Dre… not Andre Bell.”
Ashley added, “He was the quiet person, but everybody needs a quiet guy on their team, because then that’s how you know that they’re listening to you. That means they mostly care about you and everything like that.”
