Two college athletes have lost their lives in separate shooting incidents near the end of May.
The athletes, who played different sports for different schools, have plunged the college sports world into mourning following the tragic circumstances.
Basketball player Jamarion Brown, who attended Henderson State University, reportedly got shot in the head at a pool party on Friday and later succumbed to his injury. He had only been at the school for one year.
The university has published a statement expressing shock and sadness in the wake of his brutal killing.
