The Alabama community is mourning the loss of Tuskegee University football player Reginald T. Summage Jr. after he was fatally shot over the weekend.
 
On March 19, authorities responded to a report of a person who was shot in Alabama’s Washington Plaza, according to AL.com. Upon arrival, they found 20-year-old Summage injured in the parking lot and pronounced him dead on the scene. 
 
Tuskegee Police Chief Jennifer Jordan said the shooting initially began with a fistfight at an off-campus party, where Summage was believed to have been trying to end the fight.
  
The day after the fatal incident, 21-year-old Marquavius Lee Debro was arrested and charged with murder in connection to Summage’s death. He is currently being held in the Macon County Jail on $150,000 bond, reports AL.com.

Tuskegee Football coach Reginald Ruffin said the wide receiver was “a model student-athlete” who “inspired his teammates and friends with optimism and care for others.”
