Taylor Bradford, the University of Memphis football player who was shot to death on Sunday night, will be remembered with a moment of silence on Tuesday when the Tigers face the Marshall Thundering Herd.
Bradford was believed to be the victim of a targeted attack when he was shot shortly before 10:00 pm Sunday. The junior transfer from Samford University had been in a parking lot near the Carpenter Complex located on the Memphis campus.
He attempted to drive away after being shot but slammed his car into a tree. Bradford was then rushed to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
Head football coach Tommy West released a statement saying, “Our entire football team is deeply saddened by the loss of Taylor. He was well respected and a popular member of our team. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”
