Bryce Dejean-Jones is dead. It’s a sentence I can’t believe I’m writing.
Only 15 months ago, he was running around in cardinal and gold at Hilton Coliseum. Only three months ago, he carved out a niche for himself with the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA.
Now, everyone is left to figure out what happened in the death of a former Iowa State basketball player. Like with so much about Dejean-Jones, his death appears to be complex.
He was shot in the abdomen and died early Saturday morning. He kicked open the front door and a bedroom door at an apartment.
