Cousin of former Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams shot and killed in California park

Multiple reports have identified Ralph Fields, 34 — the first cousin of former Green Bay Packers receiver Davante Adams — as the victim of a fatal shooting at a park in East Palo Alto, California, on Tuesday. It's the same park where Adams donated equipment just two months ago.

Police say 33 shots were fired Tuesday evening at Jack Farrell Park, where children were playing tag and baseball nearby. Interim police chief Jeff Liu said four shooters were involved, and the shooting appeared to be targeted.

Adams donated fitness equipment in March to the park, located in his hometown, as part of a "Building Better Lives" campaign with Optimum Nutrition.
