Police said defensive lineman Taylor Bradford, 21, apparently was shot around 9:45 p.m. (10:45 ET) Sunday and drove a short distance in his car before crashing. Bradford was taken to Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Campus police said the preliminary investigation indicated that Bradford was targeted and not the victim of a random act of violence. An incident from the night before may have caused this act.

The University of Memphis is closed today because of the act of violence.
