ST. LOUIS — Drake forward Tremell Murphy, who was involved in a recent off-campus shooting incident in which a fellow student was injured, has been suspended from the team indefinitely.
“Tremell is still in school and attending class and we’re waiting for the university review to move further,” said Drake coach Darian DeVries. “After the incident, we removed him from all team activities until the university review.”
Murphy, who averaged 10.4 points and 6.2 rebounds for the co-champion Bulldogs last season, was charged Aug. 31 with false reports to law enforcement and discharging a firearm within city limits, both misdemeanors, according to a news release from Des Moines police.
