Former Seattle Seahawk’s player Rickey Thenarse was shot in the stomach in South Los Angeles on Friday and underwent emergency surgery, according to TMZ.
Details regarding the circumstances of the shooting are scant, but TMZ said sources indicated “Thenarse had been in the middle of a love triangle involving his girlfriend and the father of her child… which seems to have come to a head last week.”
The Daily Mail cited sources saying Thenarse “had been in a dispute involving his girlfriend and the father of her child when the incident occurred.”
There have not yet been any arrests in connection with the shooting.
Thenarse came out of high school as a four-star recruit and played college football for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 2006 to 2010. He signed with the Seattle Seahawks thereafter and “made three preseason appearances for the team” before being cut.
