PHOENIX - According to reports, ASU football player Marion Grice’s brother was killed in a shooting in Houston on Friday morning.
According to KTRK in Houston the victim who is believed to be Grice’s brother, just bought a brand new pair of Air Jordan “Bred” shoes when he was approached at gunpoint.
Harris County Homicide Investigators told KTRK that two males were heading home, but it appears they were followed home from the mall.
When the two victims showed up to their house, that is when a suspect demanded the shoes at gunpoint.
The victim who is reportedly to be Grice’s brother jumped into the car to get away, but was shot while driving and crashed shortly after. The other victim got away unharmed.
Texas authorities are searching for the two suspects who approached the victims.
