Police in Mississippi are investigating the fatal shooting of a University of Southern Mississippi football player at an off-campus apartment complex. Marcus Daniels Jr., 21, was found unresponsive in his vehicle by Hattiesburg Police Tuesday night at the Ivy Row apartments. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said Wednesday that they hadn't identified a suspect nor have they announced a possible motive. Daniels, of Lucedale, Mississippi, played defensive back for the Golden Eagles.
“We send our sincere condolences to his family, friends and teammates during this difficult time,” the university wrote on its website, adding that it would not comment further out of respect for Daniels’ family. Daniels’ mother, Adrian Jackson, posted a photo on Facebook Wednesday of her son wearing an old football uniform. “My baby!” she wrote. Facebook poster LaQuandra Conner said she loved Daniels as a second son.
