A cousin of Jackson State University student Ryan Henderson, gunned down last weekend at a pool party, is blaming JSU football players for the shooting. On her Tumblr page this morning, Shelby Davonna wrote: "My cousin Ryan was brutally murdered by members of the Jackson State University football team after he accidentally bumped into a player during a pool party. The problem could have been resolved when Ryan apologized, but instead he was jumped 3 times, chased around an apartment complex, and eventually was shot in the face."

The JFP has not confirmed her accusations and has reached out to Davonna for more information. If you have information about the shooting, please write [e-mail missing] or call 601-362-6121 ext. 22 right away. We can protect your identity if needed.

Sports wise, not saying the JSU football did anything wrong or took part in anything, my first thought was if Casey Therriault was there. Given his past and this event (hearing party was for outgoing football players) NFL teams will stay away from him in the draft. Just from a sports standpoint.
