Gunshot kills Pelicans rookie
Print Edition
NEW Orleans Pelicans rookie guard Bryce Dejean-Jones died on Saturday from a gunshot wound to his abdomen.
Police told the Dallas Morning News and Des Moines Register that the 23-year-old was killed early on Saturday after kicking open the door of a Dallas apartment in Texas and being shot by a man inside.
Authorities said the man, who had been sleeping before the forced entry, fired from inside his bedroom after Dejean-Jones kicked the door to the room, mistaking it for his own. He collapsed in an outer hallway and died at a hospital.
“It is with deep sadness that the Pelicans organization acknowledges the sudden passing of Bryce Dejean-Jones,” the team said in a statement.
Dejean-Jones signed a three-year contract with the Pelicans in February after playing on back-to-back 10-day deals.
He averaged 5.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.9 minutes on the court over 14 games, before his season ended following right wrist surgery.
