SANFORD, Fla. — Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell was shot in Florida and sustained a minor wound, the team announced on social media.
Dell was shot Saturday night in Sanford and has since been released from a hospital “in good spirits,” the team wrote Sunday in its social media post.
“We are in contact with him and his family and will provide more updates when appropriate,” the team wrote.
Dell's injury was related to a shooting outside a Sanford party venue, in which authorities said a teenager wounded 10 people when he opened fire during a private event.
Officials said an argument escalated, unrelated to Dell who was a bystander, eventually leading to the gunshots. A security guard was able to apprehend the suspected gunman after the shooting.
Deputies said the suspect, a 16-year-old, was booked into the Juvenile Detention Center. The teen faces four charges related to the shooting, with more potentially coming.
The incident remains under investigation.
