Former New England Patriots wide receiver Reche Caldwell was shot and killed outside his Tampa, Florida home Saturday, according to reports by TMZ Sports and ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
In the TMZ story, Caldwell’s mother Deborah said Reche was getting ready to take his girlfriend out on a date when he went back inside to get his jacket. He then was ambushed by “a couple of people” who jumped out of the bushes attempting to rob him, according to his girlfriend.
Caldwell was shot in the leg and chest and died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
