Victims

Occurred on Sep 30, 2007

Taylor Bradford, 21, was shot near a university parking lot, but managed to drive off, before crashing his car into a tree a short distance away on campus. "We found him with a bullet wound to the body and the ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced (dead)," said Roger Prewitt, a Memphis Police inspector. Students, faculty and staff were told by email early on the following day that classes were canceled. "Our entire football team is deeply saddened by the loss of Taylor," head coach Tommy West said in a statement. "He was well respected and a popular member of our team. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family." Bradford lettered in three sports at Antioch High School in Nashville, and held school records in shotput and discus. Four suspects were later arrested for allegedly attempting to rob Bradford based on rumors that he had won thousands of dollars at a casino. Devin Jefferson, who was a Univ. of Memphis student, was accused of engineering the robbery and murder of Bradford. Learn More (msnbc.com)
